Play your PodVisit at the viewing platform located a short walk from the Bolderwood car park.

The fallow deer at Bolderwood are fed here every day from Easter until September.

There are also populations of red, roe and sika deer elsewhere and New Forest Deer (25) have contributed to the forest's eco-system and landscape.

WalkerThe viewing platform is a short walk from the car park and you can continue down the Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive to the Knightwood Oak (21).

Across the road, the Bolderwood walk loops through the woods and into the Highland Water Inclosure.
