Autumn colours of New Forest, a weekend hiking adventure

Join us for a beginner-friendly hiking weekend in the New Forest National Park, one of the most beautiful national parks in the UK. This guided autumn walk is perfect for hikers looking to explore peaceful forest trails, spot wild ponies, and enjoy the rich colours of the season.
We’ll hike from Brockenhurst across woodland and heathland, past cider orchards, thatched cottages, and ancient trees. Once a royal hunting forest under William the Conqueror, the New Forest is now home to deer, rare birds, and iconic free-roaming ponies.
This walking weekend from London includes two days of easy-paced hikes, dinner at a traditional gastropub, and an overnight stay in a countryside hostel.
