Before anything else please read the following important points about cycling in the New Forest:
There are 13 main landscapes within the New Forest:
1. Ancient and Ornamental woodland, which naturally regenerates itself - mostly oak and beech with a holly understorey
2. Inclosures with softwood grown for timber
3. Inclosures, with mature trees, which have been thrown open to animal grazing
4. Hardwood inclosures on a long (100+ years) rotation
5. Dry and wet heathland
6. Forest lawns, which are extensive areas of grazed grass
7. Manorial waste and commons, mostly in the north of the Forest
8. Large Estates managed for agriculture and forestry
9. Enclosed pasture, formerly used in conjunction with open forest grazing but increasingly lost to recreational horse keeping
10. Flashy rivers draining to the Avon Valley and Solent
11. Valley mires and bogs - the most extensive system remaining in Europe
12. Open Solent coast
13. Coastal saltmarsh - the most extensive remaining in southern Britain
