Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, Blackwater Arboretum and Tall Trees Trail
Enjoy the glory of the woods.
A wonderful collection of non-native trees can be found alongside the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive (between the points marked on the accompanying map with an (A) and in the nearby Blackwater Arboretum (B).
There is also a way-marked, 2.5 kilometres (1½ miles) ‘Tall Trees Trail’ that starts close to the Blackwater car park (C) or, alternatively, from the Brock Hill car park (D).
There are no entrance charges.
(The Rhinefield Ornamental Drive leaves the A35 4.5 kilometres (2 ¾ miles) south-west of Lyndhurst and becomes Rhinefield Road as it eventually progresses towards Brockenhurst further to the south-east).
