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. Download our free app 'Cyclexperience' from the Apple Store or Google Play Store to find most of our routes. Be sure to book online to save time in-store and to secure the bikes you prefer. Happy cycling!
Here we’ve put together the best bits for you to watch out for on your cycle. Some of them are on route, others - not so easy to find.
A friendly relaxed country hotel with a greenhouse restaurant, a Walled Kitchen Garden, cosy lounges all with open fires and sink-in sofas.
Here are some convenient spots on route to stop for food and drinks
The Pig Hotel is an old Country House and doesn't need much introduction - it is truly one of the best hotels in the country. If you want to combine a stop here on one of our cycle routes then it is either going to be close to the start or near the end of your cycle.
The Crown Stirrup is a great option, it never gets too busy. Don't be tempted to linger too long in the pub and then cycle the quicker route back to Brockenhurst down the main road, it is not much fun. Please watch the time and come back through the woods.
The Drift has a relaxed, laid-back vibe, rustic yet super-comfy interiors, and the warm welcome and hearty hospitality of a traditional country pub, but it’s an award-winning restaurant too!
