New Forest - Cycle routes and walking trail closures

Cycle routes and walking trail closures

Updated 5th January 2024

Disruption to walking and cycling routes

  • The following bridge is currently closed off, as it's unsafe and awaiting repair: Millyford Bridge. Also, there's restricted access on Anderwood Inclosure bridge and Wootton Coppice bridge. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused and we’ll try our best to get this work completed as soon as we can, but our budgets are limited. These are just 3 of the 250 bridges across the New Forest that we look after, and we spend thousands of pounds every year trying to keep on top of their ongoing maintenance.
  • Trees are being removed so that remaining trees have space to grow in Roe Inclosure, please avoid the area.
  • Parkhill Inclosure is open again to cyclists, walkers and horse riders, but look out for timber lorries collecting wood for the sawmills.
  • Network rail are working on the substation by Crooks Bridge at Ashurst from 2 October 2023 – 29 March 2024. Please take extra care when using Ashurst lodge road and crossing the bridge.

Thank you for your understanding. We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the forest while this work takes place.
