Embark on the Bolderwood loop from Lyndhurst, a moderate mountain biking adventure spanning 20.4 miles (32.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1007 feet (307 metres). You can expect to complete this route in about 2 hours and 36 minutes. As you cycle, you will navigate well-maintained gravel tracks, winding through ancient woodlands and across open heathlands, with towering Douglas fir trees marking sections of the Bolderwood Ornamental Drive. The diverse terrain offers a rewarding experience for riders with good fitness.
Planning your ride on this route is straightforward, as it primarily uses gravel tracks suitable for most mountain bikes and even hybrid bikes. While some parts involve low-traffic roads, the unpaved sections are generally gentle and easy to manage. A good fitness level is recommended to comfortably enjoy the full distance and elevation. Be sure to check local conditions before you head out, especially regarding weather and trail status.
The Bolderwood loop showcases the varied beauty of the New Forest National Park, providing a chance to spot local wildlife. Keep an eye out for ponies, donkeys, and deer as you ride. A notable highlight is the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary, where a dedicated viewing platform offers an excellent opportunity to observe fallow deer in their natural habitat. This trail provides a deep dive into the unique ecosystem of the New Forest.
