Overview

We will discover the story of the Bisterne Dragon and follow his trail down to the Pondhead Woods. There amongst the trees, we should be able to find him hiding! This walk tracks the outskirts of Lyndhurst, following good paths and tracks past interesting houses both big and small, some with interesting stories. We will also be passing through woods with colourful autumn colours. There is just one stile.
