Hiking
From the huge bench on the hill you have a great view of the town. Horses often graze here

Situated just at the end of Lyndhurst village is Boltons Bench, a small hill with a giant yew surrounded by grazing wild ponies. A flat, gravel path leads you along this beautiful landscape where you can enjoy gorgeous views across the New Forest landscape.
