Walking
The many footpaths in the Ringwood area are regularly surveyed and well used by members of the local Footpath Society. These footpaths give walkers the opportunity to explore the delights of the surrounding New Forest and farmland. The Avon Valley Footpath links Christchurch in the south with Salisbury in the north, a distance of 34 miles. Ringwood is well placed on the pathway and ideal for an overnight stop.
A Public Rights of Way leaflet and details of walks can be obtained from the Visitors' Information Centre. ( A downloadable version of these leaflets is available in the Walks section of the website).
