    The Penerley Wood and Moon Hill Circular Walk immerses you in heathland, pines, and oak woods, granting you a chance to revel in stunning scenery. However, like many adventures in the area, this New Forest walk tends to get muddy and wet during the wetter months. Therefore, wellies or appropriate waterproof footwear are recommended! If you want to get out and move in nature, this is an excellent walk, but don’t expect the scenery to blow your mind.
