Knightwood and Anderwood Circular Walk

Gather your dog, your family, and anyone looking to get outside for a pleasant, relaxing stroll and head to the Knightwood and Anderwood Circular Walk, where greenery cloaks the scenery, deer roam the trees, and birds sing in the background. The non-technical terrain makes this a great walk for beginners easing into the world of walking! You will have to cross two non-busy roads, but if your dog happens to be off lead, there is enough notice to leash it back up.

Route Description for Knightwood and Anderwood Circular Walk

The Knightwood and Anderwood Circular Walk in the New Forest is fantastic for families, dog owners, and beginner hikers. With that being said, it tends to attract many people, making it essential to head there early if you want to find a space in the car park. You’ll walk in a southwest direction from your car before turning right at the first junction, followed by a quick left at the next intersection. Continue straight for just over 300 m heading right to start the loop portion of this walk. Make your way around the loop, basking in the combination of wooded and field images before returning to the same path that you took from the car park.
