From October 18th to Sunday 2nd November, for the second year running, the New Forest National Park have organised the New Forest Walking Festival. Following the success of last year’s inaugural walk….this year’s event has doubled in size!
Walkers of all ages are invited to don their hiking boots, trainers or wellies and be led on bespoke experiences, by expert guides, highlighting the unique countryside, wildlife, culture and history of this internationally important landscape.
The autumn is an incredible time of year to walk around the National Park, with fiery foliage providing the perfect backdrop for exploring the gentle flat landscape that has been shaped over the centuries by grazing ponies, cattle and pigs. Discover birds, beasts and unravel historical secrets.
