Details

Hello,
This is more than just a walk.
New Forest Wellbeing CIC is a small, heart-led, not-for-profit community, created to support happiness, wellbeing and a sense of real belonging for anyone who needs it. Our walks and events are all about kindness, connection, and time in nature, especially for those who might be feeling a bit isolated, low, or simply stretched by life as many are.
Every event is priced as low as possible, with a small contribution that helps cover basic costs. I do not take a wage from this. Any money left over goes straight back into creating more community-led wellbeing experiences. It is run out of kindness and purpose, not profit.
Everyone is warmly welcome. You do not need to be “outdoorsy”, fit, or confident. You just need to show up as you are.

### About this particular walk

On this meetup we will share a gentle circular walk from Janesmoor Pond, one of the quieter corners of the New Forest. The route takes us across open heathland and along woodland tracks, with the chance of seeing New Forest ponies, deer and plenty of birdlife.
We walk at a relaxed, friendly pace. There is no rush, no pressure, and no need to be anything other than yourself.

This is the time to reconnect. With nature, with others, and with yourself

Distance: about 6 miles
Terrain: gentle heathland paths and woodland tracks
Duration: roughly 3 hours 15 minutes
Midway pause: a peaceful 15 minute stop to rest, enjoy a snack, and soak up the views
.

### A place with a story

Janesmoor Pond sits on the edge of the old RAF Stoney Cross airfield, built during World War II and once home to both British and American air crews. Remains of the airfield can still be found around the pond and car park, giving a quiet sense of history to the landscape we will be walking through.

### How to join in

You can either bring £2 cash on the day or pay in advance by bank transfer to our Metro account, whatever works best for you. This small contribution helps cover running costs so we can keep offering soul-nourishing community events.
If something comes up and you cannot make it, please cancel at least 48 hours in advance so someone else can take your spot.

### No one left behind

This community is something special. From the shared laughter to the quiet companionable silences, from the walks that gently lift your spirits to the conversations that carry on long after we have left the woods, we are creating a space where kindness ripples outward and nobody has to feel alone.
With warmth,
