There's so much to see and do here... if you can find it! We're not local but were holidaying in the New Forest and wanted a wooded walk and an opportunity to see some wildlife but the signposting is poor. Perhaps that's the 'cunning plan' as it was quite and peaceful. I suppose you could call it a 'hidden gem'! There are plenty of well signposted trails once you're in but wellies or walking boots are a must! The bird hides are well positioned and there was plenty to see even in winter. Best of all, it's all free (although donations are encouraged).

If you like a walk in the woods with stop offs to watch the birds both in the woods and on the lakes, then this place is for you. There are well marked trails which are easy walking. They are also pushchair and wheelchair accessible but there are some kissing gates which could be difficult to negotiate with a chair.

I have been to quite a few nature reserves in the last couple of years and have to say this is my favourite so far. Plenty to see and photograph, the staff are very friendly and helpful as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited in the evening via the public footpath, after the car park closed, and spotted fallow and muntjac deer.

Beautiful walks. Scenery. Getting down with nature is a must. Brilliantly presented with great indoor view sheds to watch wildlife. So bring ya cameras. And binoculars, you will have a very good time.
