NEW FOREST WALK at STRODGEMOOR BOTTOM & SMUGGLERS ROAD

Описание: My series of "New Forest Walks", accompanied by my Whippet (Logan), continues with a visit to the area around Strodgemoor Bottom and Knaves Ash (just to the East of Ringwood). I follow a rough "figure of eight" route, initially heading North along an old Smugglers Route before returning to Knaves Ash & then South to Strodgemoor Bottom. The walk I did was about 3 miles but you could extend it my going further along Smugglers Road.

Along the way I come across an old New Forest Boundary Stone, a 19thC Mile Stone, a Bronze Age Burial Mound and the site of a Victorian Rifle Range. As well as experiencing some stunning scenery across heathland, I pass one of the deepest bogs in the New Forest and end up discovering what may be a WW2 structure.
