Standing Hat Car Park

Standing Hat Car Park

Drive up to the Standing Hat Forestry Commission car park after passing the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst. Once out of the car the possibilities are many and varied – just strike out and see what you find.

The tracks can get quite busy with pedestrians, dogs, cyclists and horses, so keep your eyes open.
