Well marked trail with information boards that explain the history. I use a small section in and around Sutton Scotney regularly. Perfect in current climate. Highly recommend.

My 3 teenage children, my wife and I enjoyed a 1 hour hack through the beautiful forestland ably guided by Cassidy and Asher. The horses were all in amazing condition which added to the overall experience. Our experience from the time we arrived at Bagnum to the time we left was so enjoyable. The staff were very attentive and ensured all of the family knew exactly what we needed to do despite us all having some riding experience. The hack itself was very enjoyable with a mix of walking and trotting through tracks and on road. We felt totally reassured by our two guides throughout. Thank you Bagnum Equestrian Centre for such a great time. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I feel privileged to have submitted the Shipwrights Way to Tripadvisor and to be the first to review it. Yes, I’m a fan of this forest to coast route that can be cycled, walked or run. The Shipwrights Way is a 50 mile route which links villages and towns from north east to south Hampshire. The name reflects the use of oak grown at Alice Holt Forest, near Bentley, for Tudor shipbuilding in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard. The route from the north east starts at Alice Holt Forest, the route passes through Bordon, Liphook, Liss, Petersfield, Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Staunton Country Park, Havant, Hayling Island. It continues to Portsmouth via the ferry, finishing at the Historic Dockyard. You can start at either end, we started at the dockyard and cycled the route there and back over two days. There are good cafes in Liss to stop for lunch and we found a bed for the night in a pub at the end of the route without pre-booking (but it was a week day in September). Much off the route is off-road, using rights of way and permissive paths. We had to carry our bikes over one bridge. Signage is good, however, we did need to refer to Google maps as an aid a few times. The route has been divided into 12 sections by the people at Visit Hampshire. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
