Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary
Bolderwood is one of the few places in the New Forest where you can reliably see fallow deer from a purpose-built viewing platform a short walk from the car park. Three signposted circular trails head into the surrounding ornamental drive, all on compact gravel that suits wheels and four paws alike. Pay-and-display parking, picnic tables, seasonal toilets and a coffee van in season.
