Burgate Suspension Bridge and Meadows

Highlight • Trail

This spot is just outside Burgate and Fordingbridge. Part of the Avon Valley Path, the trail cuts across the water meadows that the Avon is known for and a pretty foot suspension bridge crosses the river itself.

The bridge is actually made of parts of a different bridge so no one can say the construction industry doesn’t enjoy a bit of upcycling. The river is lovely here, with trees hanging over the water and grasses wafting in the current.

The wooded reaches of Godshill Inclosure manage to be both a popular place to walk and a peaceful haven for wanderers. First enclosed in 1810, remnants of the original oak and beechwoods still exist, now interspersed with other, later planted broadleaves such as sweet chestnut, and edged with Scots pine and larch.

Lovely bit of open green filled with New Forest's local residents, wild ponies and cows. Perfect spot for a dog walk or picnic.
