In which I walk from Fordingbridge to Bickton and back again, among clouds of Cow Parley and buttercup-filled meadows

In which I walk from Fordingbridge to Bickton and back again, among clouds of Cow Parley and buttercup-filled meadows
In which I walk through water meadows alongside the Avon in the New Forest
In which I walk through Woodgreen and along a disused railway track in the New Forest in spring, under a blue sky and among the calls of Chiffchaffs
In which I take a short walk around Fordingbridge, at the western edge of the New Forest
In which I reach the top of the forest...Pipers Wait is the highest point in the New Forest, and is included in this lovely circular walk from Eyeworth Pond near Fritham.
In which I climb a hill and find a labyrinth...and also bluebells and wild strawberries, a hare and an orange-tip butterfly.
In which I grieve for lost fields, but discover some local Ringwood history...This walk starts in Ringwood, heading for Rockford Common and the New Forest woods, streams and heaths beyond.
