Walk: Setley Common and Boldre Church

Meet at 9.45am for a 10.00am start at Setley Pond car park (SU302992), 2 miles south of Brockenhurst, just off the A337. This is a 6-mile walk, but there is a straightforward shorter version which reduces it to 3.25 miles. There are up to 6 stiles to cross, 4 on the shorter route. The route follows good paths and bridleways towards Royden Woods Nature Reserve, and then the longer route visits Boldre Church (where there is a memorial to HMS Hood) before both routes rejoin to return to Setley Pond. Option of lunch at the Filly Inn after. Please contact Mike Townend (miketownend27@aol.com or 01794-514415) for further details and to book lunch if required.
