Walk Off Your Lunch !!

As you leave The New Forest Inn turn right up the gravel path directly alongside the pub. It slightly bears left then turns right into the forest. Continue on this track until you see the Emery Down Water Reservoir on your left. When you can see the large tank turn right following the well defined woodland path then bearing left towards the large timber pile.Turn right onto the well defined downward path which levels out reaching a cross path. Cross straight over and keep going through some boggy areas and crossing over a small stream. You will approach a very boggy area with two trees set together as if in an island look closely up at the right tree and you will see a fairy door– just before this tree turn right and follow a green path slightly up hill. On your left is a split tree. Bear round the bushes to keep to the mud track and gentle ascent of grassy path. Pass the “enchanted” tree on the right. Keep to the wide grass track. A tree on the right has some symbols on it. Path changed to gravel and goes uphill. Pass tall broken dead tree on left and keep to right path. Go through James Hill Car park with road to left and follow the narrow undulating pathway going under a tunnel of trees stay on the well defined path and you will reach the back of The New Forest Inn.
