New Forest Cycle Ride - 6
Woodland near Fritham, including King’s Garn Gutter Inclosure, Salisbury Trench and Coppice of Linwood

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

1) Turn left along the road out of the car park, and after a short distance, turn right towards Longbeech camp site.

2) Continue along the camp site road, pass through the site, and after 1 kilometre (0.6 mile), at the end of the road, follow the track as it goes sharply left into King’s Garn Gutter Inclosure.

3) After 1 kilometre, reach a ‘T’ junction beside which is cycle track sign number 2 – note, this sign is 'side-on’, and is not obviously a cycle track sign.

4) Turn right, cross a narrow stretch of open ground close to which is the very narrow King’s Garn Gutter, and pass through a gate into Coppice of Linwood.

5) Almost immediately, miss a turn on the right – not a cycle track – and then shortly after, turn right at the next ‘T’ junction – cycle track sign number 1.

6) Cross a couple of small streams on this uphill stretch, and enter the conifers of Salisbury Trench.

7) Continue on, mostly uphill, for just over 1 kilometre, and reach another ‘side-on’ cycle track sign at a 'T’ junction.

8) Turn left, downhill, back into Coppice of Linwood.
 
9) Eventually arrive back at the ‘T’ junction from 5 above, and continue straight on. Go back through the gate, over the open ground and straight on again at the next ‘T’ junction.

10) After just over 0.5 kilometres (1/3 mile), pass through a gate and an area of substantially thinned, open coniferous woodland. At the next junction, pass two tracks on the right – not cycle tracks, pass through another gate and reach the public road.

11) Turn left and the car park is 0.75 kilometres (½ mile) away.
