This is one of my favourite places in the New Forest. I love the deer and the forest. So many varieties of mushrooms to stumble across too. I like to come here on rainy days in the early morning just as the sun is rising. It's just a peaceful place. A place to just absorb nature and take a breath.
A lovely deer sanctuary. We headed here for a short walk and to hopefully see some deer. There was no deer by the deer platform, but we did spot some in the fields near the paths. There's plenty of paths, including some decent, stony ones. There's plenty of space in the carpark and toilets. There's also lots of grass for children to run around on and build dens.
We absolutely loved our time at Bolderwood. The drive through and walk on the trails ws fascinating. We saw a white pony which was just stunning to look at. We saw number deers and birds. It is unbelievable the amount of wildlife and the amount of work put in to preserve them. There is a public toilet facility. There is also parking. Note that cars are parked at owners risk. When we visited we had a notice put on our windscreen to warn us of petty thieves. That said, we enjoyed our visit and we'll be going back soon.
Disappointing no deer to be seen however we had a fabulous walk with hardly a sole in sight! Plenty of free parking available. We chose the blue route which was a mile. Perfect for a stroll in the countryside.
Amazing walks of different lengths around some beautiful woodland. Ample car parking, toilets and a picnic area. Lots of space for children to run around in a safe environment, and if you're lucky you might see some deer. While we were there, there was even an ice cream van, bonus!
Nice walk in nature. Some animals around. Wear comfy shoes, make sure you have good pushchairs is going with little ones. Hills and uneven path in places, Some mud, as expected, it's nature after all.
Absolutely beautiful, gutted we didn’t see any deer though! Free to park, although you can (as we did) make a contribution via text. Marked out walks, half mile, 1 mile and 2 miles, although we went off route as this wasn’t long enough for us.
