Play your PodVisit in the Holiday Hills Inclosure - a short walk off the Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive or from Millyford Bridge car park.

This inclosure is typical of many in the New Forest which has seen its uses change over the last thousand years - from a royal hunting ground to a source of timber
for military and commercial wood production.

WalkerFrom the Knightwood Oak (21) continue back along the Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive (in the direction of Bolderwood) before turning right onto a path which takes you through Holiday Hills Inclosure (22).

Taking a path to the right will lead you to the New Forest Reptile Centre, while continuing straight on will take you through the Inclosure, coming out on the Emery Down to Bolderwood Road near the Portuguese Fireplace (23).

  • Green Tips: As you can see around you, dead wood lying around the forest floor is a great resource for birds and insects - don't take any from the New Forest, but a pile of old wood left to decay will help attract wildlife to your garden.
