🟠🚶🏻 Hike: The New Forest in Autumn Colours 🍂🍁 🌲🌲🌲

Join us for a tranquil hike in the New Forest to experience ancient woodland, beautiful heathland, natural scenes and a chance to see many wild horses! Deeper in the forest, wild deer stroll beneath canopies of mighty oak and beech - to truly appriciate this hike and hopefully see some wildlife, it would be wondeful if we could all aim to have less chatter/noise whilst in the forest.
