Shave Wood – New Forest Walk

Map of M27 Junction 1 Walk

This is a quiet and little visited part of the New Forest, where dogs can romp without the restraints of human civilisation.

There are no marked footpaths, just small tracks running amongst the trees in Britain's premier forest.

The tranquillity of walking amongst the native trees is a joy.

Although the ground is mainly soft grass, wellies are definitely an advantage in wet weather.
