The New Forest is one of the safest, flattest and most scenic National Parks to cycle in. We supply helmets for free and recommend you wear one for your own safety (helmets are sanitised after each use). Cycling route maps, repair kits and locks are also provided for free.
Be sure to book your bike hire online to save time in-store and to secure the bikes you prefer. Happy cycling!

Things to See & Places to Eat
Rising Sun
You can almost certainly get served here even on a busy day. Make sure you ask if you can bring bikes into the beer garden as the car park is a bit exposed.
Disused Railway
Castleman’s Corkscrew', a disused railway line so-called because of the shape it cut across the forest and Charles Castleman who promoted it.
Sway Village
The village is best known for Sway Tower, also known locally as Peterson’s Folly. Built in the late 19th century by the eccentric Judge Peterson, the 220-foot tall tower is built entirely of concrete and was influenced by Peterson’s visits to India.
