The Roar of The Dragon

Your personal guide Steve will lead you through the heart of this stunning ancient New Forest. 

Our tour starts at the Green Dragon in Brook. Our route winds though to Bramshaw, a hamlet on quiet roads and is our route into the Forest on gravel tracks. The Deer Sanctuary is our next port of call taking us behind the Sanctuary into the heart of the New Forest. The way marked gravel tracks takes this ride to Bolderwood Arboretum Drive and onto the Reptile Centre where we might see frogs, adders, and lizards. Passing the Portuguese Fireplace back onto gravel tracks into the Forest and on our way to Minstead then on to a bridleway which takes the ride back to the Green Dragon. 

If you are up to the full force of the Dragon’s roar we can extend this tour if you dare…
This adventure is perfect for individuals and small groups.
