Routes

You are welcome to cycle on public roads, byways open to all traffic, public bridleways, restricted bridleways, and dedicated cycle routes. You are not permitted to ride over the Open Forest, or on Forestry Commission tracks which are not dedicated cycle routes. Cycling on public footpaths is also not permitted.

A guide to cycling on the Crown Lands of the New Forest is available from the Forestry Commission, as well as information on any routes which may be temporarily disrupted due to forest management activities.
