Had a great time, Steve is a very approachable guy with a lot of knowledge of the area and cycling safely. Happy to highly recommend and will cycle with Steve again soon.
Join us for an unforgettable cycling experience that takes you from the coastal beauty of Keyhaven, along the scenic sea walls, and into the heart of The New Forest. This tour is designed for those who appreciate a blend of sea views and forest trails, with stops for coffee, lunch, and a chance to spot local wildlife.
Starting from Keyhaven, your guide, Steve, will lead you on a journey through coastal and forested landscapes. You will follow the sea wall with views across The Solent and towards the Isle of Wight, making your way to the town of Lymington. Here, you'll have time for a coffee break at the marina before continuing the ride.
Crossing over a footbridge, you'll venture through the quiet village of Boldre, where you’ll be surrounded by peaceful bridleways that weave through the forest. Keep an eye out for the occasional deer! The ride takes you to Setley Ridge, with a stop at Daisy Tea Garden for lunch, offering fresh coffee and cake to recharge before the return leg.
The ride back passes scenic locations, including a small historic church overlooking Boldre, and the village of Pilley at the forest's edge. You'll head back through Lymington and discover the Ancient Highway trail, adding a touch of adventure to the final stretch.
The tour begins at Keyhaven Amenity Car Park and travels through Lymington, Boldre, and Setley Ridge in The New Forest.
You'll experience both coastal and woodland scenery, with stops at beautiful local spots along the way.
