NEW FOREST WALK at RINGWOOD (NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK)

This is another video in my series “New Forest Walks” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I take a 4.5 mile walk that follows the Avon Valley Path as it weaves its way out of the town of Ringwood (South West Hampshire) and heads South through tranquil water meadows in the direction of Christchurch.

Looping back through farmland and country lanes I get to see the delightful Hightown Lake and walk along the disused “Castleman Corkscrew”Railway Line.

The weather was superb for this walk and the route along the River Avon was very pretty. Logan got to have some fun towards the end of the walk when he got to try out a “Dog Activity” area!

Being a local, I have visited Ringwood many times over the years. In recent years, every few weeks I have visited a friend who lives there. Yet I have never encountered most of the nooks and crannies you have looked out for us in this video. Full marks and a gold star!

How did I not know about this doggy play area? ❤Logan❤

I used to to live just around the corner from the white hart! Miss living there loads

Thanks Dave. Enjoyed the walk. Very helpful as I will be looking after a whippet in Ringwood in September.

Thank you Dave and Logan, what an interesting walk, so many things to look at on the way. Loved the thatched cottages.

I only learned of you this morning when I was walking in the forest with Fraser, my whippet. I met another dog walker who asked me if I followed your YouTube channel. Of course, on returning home, I immediately checked you out. I was delighted this was the first video I happened upon. Fortunately years ago I lived in Ringwood and this was a trip down memory lane. I have recently moved back down to Hampshire after many years, and Fraser and I are often looking for new walks.

Another wonderful walk! Just loved all of those thatched cottages!!!😍 So beautiful each & ever one! Loved that scene in the begining w/ the canal, the little bridge, the weeping willow & the moored barge. So gorgeous!

Not so sure Logan was much impressed w/ that dog training coarse.😄 I think he much prefers just a plain ol' sand pit to do his zoomies thru!!!😂🐕

I'lll never forget our little Pandy always eating the Raspberries off of our plants. She'd pucker up her lips like a little bear & just suck them right off! All the lower branches were always kept cleaned off by little miss Pandy!!!🐼🐶😄😘

Yay! I live in Ringwood and walking those tracks often ! Logan is so cute on the play area !

Nice walk. I pass Ringwood on the way to Bournemouth several times a year, I must stop and have a look around one day.

[shirazee]

Great stuff Dave! and the historical bits of info are always interesting 👍

[delta_shift]

Another great vid! Love the Logan zoomies sections as well. Just subscribed.

Logan had a ball on this one 😅 thanks Dave

Another super walk I have never done, but will be doing with my Highcliffe rambling group sometime in the future. I'm sure Archie my Border Terrier will love the dog agility park area.

Really enjoyed this walk Dave and good to see Logan (and you!) being put through their paces on the dog training course. I'm currently walking a dog as a Cinnamon Trust volunteer in Kingston village and will retrace some of your route on my next outing. Thanks again.

Thanks for this Dave. Beautiful photography.

Another brilliant walk Dave ... some beautiful thached buildings and lots of history ... I see you too did some zooming around in the dog play area with Logan ... enjoyed your video ...

Thank you for the beautiful walk. I am thinking to go and stay at Ringwood this summer for a few days

[hamoon]

Great walk again Dave. Really enjoyed it and you have inspired me to do the walk. Thank you.

Just stumbled across your channel, nice content sir.

Another interesting walk I hope to check out in the summer. Archie my Border Terrier will love the dog park!
