Hampshire's New Forest National Park is a walker's paradise, with ancient woodland and stunning heathland, picture postcard villages, and an abundance of wildlife. From the car park, head up to start with stunning views from the Down. From here either do a simple circuit of the high ground, or venture south down into the Knowles, onto Holm Hill and back through Wick Woods.
