Join the New Forest Tour for an unforgettable cycling adventure through the stunning New Forest National Park. Ride on wide, scenic roads often lined with the park's famous free-roaming animals.
Choose from four routes, all starting at Gang Warily recreation ground in the southeast corner of the Forest and designed to provide something for all levels of rider. Each route heads south towards the coast at Lepe, offering a glimpse of the Isle of Wight before turning back into the heart of the forest. Our New Forest events also include the Rook route which is ideal for young cyclists, families or anyone who just wants to experience a quick ride out on their bike.
The Long Route circles the entire National Park, offering 160km of stunning scenery, magical woodlands, and the chance to spot deer during the rutting season.
After conquering your chosen route, you'll be rewarded with a finisher's medal and treats from our partners.
Don't Miss Out! The New Forest Tour is a popular event, so register early to secure your spot.
We look forward to welcoming you to the New Forest Tour this September! See You on the Start Line!
