(22/9/20) Two bikes hired for the day. Excellent service at the shop, with a lot of care and attention given even though they were busy. Very friendly. Easy to register and pay (you will need to hand in some ID). Pump, lock provided and also the added security that they would be able to come out if there was a problem en route. There are copies of routes available with plenty of variation in distance and terrain/surface. We opted for the Villages, Views and Vales (tarmac on quiet country lanes, mainly) in the morning and the Deer Sanctuary (+New Forest Inn detour) in the afternoon. This second route had more gravel and steeper inclines. We also had a Garmin route guide on the handlebars and this worked well until we took a detour towards the New Forest Inn --- it did re-calibrate later on. If you are unfamiliar with the paths and roads, this instruments eliminates the need to constantly stop for map reading and worth the expense (£10 hire). Overall a highly recommended day out and benefitting from the bikes and support provided by Forest Leisure Cycling. In fact, for our next trip we will hire bikes from them rather than taking our own on the back of the car.

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.

This is a lovely walking route. Going east from Ringwood the route goes towards the New Forest although it does come to a halt after less than two miles. Pity about this. There is an information board about the railway heritage. The path extends further to the west but we have only walked about one mile. The path is very relaxing. Not really suitable for cycles due to being narrow n places and a lot of walkers.
