Young Commoners to host guided New Forest walk at Beaulieu Road

Members of the public will have a chance to hear from three Young Commoners during a commoning themed walk in the New Forest.

It is all part of the New Forest Walking Festival – organised by the New Forest National Park Authority – which aims to bring people closer to the landscapes, wildlife and heritage that define the area.

The walk starts at 10am and is expected to finish at around 12pm on Friday, 31 October.

It will be led by Young Commoners Jake Moore, Tom Hordle and Daisy Slocombe and starts at Beaulieu Road car park (opposite Beaulieu Road train station).

The walk offers a chance to hear first-hand from those who continue the centuries-old way of life and helping to sustain the habitats, open heathlands and woodlands that make the New Forest so special.

Participants are advised to wear sturdy walking boots and dress for the outdoors. Free parking is available on site.

Tickets cost £5, while for U16s it is free.
