Ziegler Passage Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Ziegler Passage takes you safely across a small stream in a boggy New Forest 'bottom' (wet place). I've marked it as a segment because it is not immediately obvious that a safe route exists when you're in this location.

There is a memorial stone that was erected in memory of Major Colin Louis Ziegler who was a stalwart of the New Forest and worked tirelessly for many years to ensure the forest's protection and conservation.

Safe all year, but wellies recommended when the ground is particularly soggy!

Smuggler's Road is situated on the western side of New Forest National Park, not too far from the village of Burley.

The track follows a ridge from Picket Plain, affording the visitor fantastic views over the vast heathland and forest from either side. This road is easily accessible from a few car parks and the path is lovely and wide.
