New Forest Cycle Ride - 2
Woodland near Ashurst, including Busketts Lawn, Lodgehill and Ironshill Inclosures

Directions:
(Only designated cycle tracks, and roads are usually mentioned; not footpaths and other tracks).

1) Leave the parking area by the telephone box, turn right along Woodlands Road, turn right again at a gate, and continue along the cycle track through Costicles Inclosure.

2) Follow the cycle track for 0.5 kilometres (1/3 mile), to leave Costicles Inclosure just before a 'T' junction is reached – the cycle track goes left here.

3) Skirt Costicles, Busketts Lawn, Busketts and Lodgehill Inclosures, and eventually, after a further 1 kilometre, reach the grounds of Ironshill Lodge, where the cycle track swings sharply to the left.

4) Almost immediately after, go straight across at a X-roads – the intersecting track is well-made and compacted, but is not a cycle track.

5) After a further 0.3 kilometres (1/5 mile), turn sharp right at a 'T' junction (cycle track sign number 44), and continue to follow the track through Lodgehill Inclosure, and then Ironshill Inclosure.

6) Enter Busketts Lawn Inclosure, cross Bartley Water, and follow the cycle track to the right, on through Busketts Lawn Inclosure.

7) After a further 1 kilometre, reach a 'T' junction, and turn left. (Again, although well-made and compacted, the turn to the right is not a cycle track).

8) After a short distance, follow the cycle track to the right, and return to the Woodlands Road ‘telephone box’ car parking area.
