Cycling in our area
With local country parks, a major cycle route and the New Forest on our doorstep there are plenty of opportunities for cyclists of all abilities when you stay at Back of Beyond.
Local country parks
In addition to nearby Hurn Forest, there’s a great country park, Moors Valley, just three miles away. This park offers plenty of cycle routes through the park and into Ringwood Forest. It also has a bike hire centre as well as activities, toilets, a shop and cafe.
The Castleman Trailway
Within 10 minutes of our park there’s a great 16 mile cycle route, the Castleman Trailway. It’s a former railway line connecting Ringwood with Brockenhurst, Wimborne and Poole. This is a useful route for accessing Ringwood and the New Forest or for exploring the local forests and heathlands on the way to Poole.
