Lyndhurst Circular Walk

Route Description for Lyndhurst Circular Walk

The Lyndhurst Circular Walk starts on the edge of town. From Bolton’s Bench, you’ll see the footpath below on your right, which runs mostly parallel to Beaulieu Road. Follow this footpath through the fields, and once you pass the Matley Woods Campsite on your right the trail takes you into a section of woods, after which you take a left turn on trail.

Soon you’ll cross the Beaulieu River and continue straight until you hit a paved road (which leads to the Ashurst Lodge on the right). Once you reach the paved road, turn left and follow it until you reach the A35. Be careful when crossing the highway. The Lyndhurst Circular Trail then continues on the other side of the road, and you’ll see the Busketts Inclosure on your right. From here you go left and continue on a straight path through Busketts Lawn Inclosure and left into the Rushpole Woods. Then follow a smaller path into the Yew Tree Hill woodland. Soon you’ll hit up the golf course, go through an underpass, walk past a cemetery, and reach back to Lyndhurst where you began.
