    Cadman's Pool and Fritham Forest Walk

    The Cadman's Pool and Fritham Forest Walk forms a figure-eight to take you through stretches of open heath, under the trees, past Holly Hatch Cottage, and you can stop for a refreshment at the Royal Oak pub in Fritham. This route may be longer at 14.3 km, but the 278 m elevation gain makes for a more easy-going journey. The Cadman's Pool and Fritham Forest Walk is especially stunning in spring when the leaves start to grow on the trees!

    Route Description for Cadman’s Pool and Fritham Forest Walk

    New Forest’s Cadman's Pool and Fritham Forest Walk takes you through three different inclosures: Islands Thorns, Sloden, Holly Hatch, as well as Eyeworth Wood. Therefore, you won’t be short of tree-filled views! Near the start of your walk, you’ll pass Holly Hatch before continuing around the loop, eventually meeting up with Fritham, where you’ll pass the Royal Oak, a great place to stop for a lunch stop! After, you’ll pass by Eyeworth Pond before making your way back to your car. This walk includes plenty of stunning sights!

    While it’s recommended to take on this figure-8 walk in the spring to see the leaves growing on the trees, it can be a bit boggy and muddy during this time, especially near Holly Hatch Cottage. Therefore, proper footwear is necessary.
