Family Routes

Cycling in The New Forest is ideal for families wanting safe off-road and gentle cycle routes, where you can experience cycle tracks through the open heathland and sheltered woods and spot our resident New Forest ponies or donkeys on your travels.

During the summer months you can jump on the New Forest Tour to link in with your cycle routes to really get around and see more - and more importantly give any little legs a rest.

Additional cycling information for families
Other cycling routes within the New Forest National Park are available on the National Park’s website here.

If you haven’t brought your bikes with you on holiday, that need not stop you from exploring our cycle paths, simply check out our local bike hire centres which offer a range of bikes, trailers and more for all the family’s needs.

Keep the children entertained with a downloadable fun-filled family activity pack while on your day out cycling in the New Forest.
