Things to see

Here we’ve put together the best bits for you to watch out for on your cycle. Some of them are on route, others - not so easy to find.

Buckler's Hard

On the banks of the Beaulieu River, Buckler's Hard was once a thriving shipbuilding village where ships for Nelson's fleet at Trafalgar were built. Buckler's Hard is a perfect lunch stop.

Beaulieu Estate & National Motor Museum

Beaulieu is home to the National Motor Museum, Palace House and Gardens, Beaulieu Abbey and World of Top Gear.

Beaulieu Airfield

Beaulieu Airfield was built in 1942 and was one of eleven Second World War airfields located in and around the New Forest.

Hatchet Pond

Hatchet Pond is the New Forest’s largest body of fresh water and home to some of the rarest wetland plants and freshwater animals long since lost from many other parts of the UK.

Ice cream van

Sweeten up your cycle with ice cream! The ice cream vans are usually at Blackwater, Whitefield Moor (Ornamental Woods, Lizard Loop routes) and Hatchet Pond (Beaulieu & Buckler’s Hard route).

Places to eat

Here are some convenient spots on route to stop for food and drinks

The Turfcutters Arms

The Turcfutters Arms is a great halfway point on our Beaulieu route and normally has space to sit and eat. There is a large beer garden and good honest pub food. It also has live music and a Beer & Cider festival in the summer.

The Montagu Arms

A refined 17th-century country house with gardens, a destination restaurant and afternoon tea.
