Stunning views across the New Forest - as the area is quite high up the roads are reasonably exposed so it’s always worth checking which way the wind is blowing before heading out.

47.1 km

Popular with hikers and birders, the road slices straight through Ocknell Plain. Another of the prime spots to see wild ponies roaming in the New Forest. During WW2, it was home to Stoney Cross Airfield. What was once the airstrip is now the straight piece of road that runs south west from Forest Road.

Telegraph Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

The name, Telegraph Hill, was given to this spot after it was used as a semaphore station from 1795. Before then, it was called Plowed Garlic Hill. No sign of either exist today, but it has a place in history as one of the semaphore station used to communicate the victory at Waterloo.
