Kings Hat (New Forest)
This Walk Is Located Off Beaulieu Rd On The Right If You're Coming From Southampton, And Is Tucked Away Through A Small Gathering Of Trees. Much Like Most New Forest Walks, There Is A Small Driveway Leading Up To A Circular Car Park, Which Is Not Particularly Large. You Can Head Off Down The Path (An Obvious Route) And It Will Take You To A Small Bridge Over A Stream. The Stream Is Lovely For The Dogs To Have A Play In. Once You Come Through The Forest Area It Opens Out Onto A Huge Area Of Heathland, And Moderate Sweeping Hills. You Could Spend A Long Time At This Place If You So Desired!
