The Coach Road, Ashley heath forest, Ringwood.

A walk in Ashley forest this morning. Starting from the "Dump" car park (newly renamed "The coach road car park" by the Forestry commission on their new sign)It's just past the dump about half way to Ringwood.

Head down the main path until a short way past the second junction. Go through the left hedge on small path that leads to fitness trail. Keep on this path, crossing several junctions until you come to red marker.

Go left then right and then left again following the red markers. There is a bench just before you get to this point, it's a good spot for a picnic or a flask of coffee.

Finally left onto track. When you reach the main track cross it and go up towards the Ringwood road. Turn left and then bear right keeping on track near the road. Turn left to reach the car parking area.

A coffee stop in the forest.
