Telegraph Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

The name, Telegraph Hill, was given to this spot after it was used as a semaphore station from 1795. Before then, it was called Plowed Garlic Hill. No sign of either exist today, but it has a place in history as one of the semaphore station used to communicate the victory at Waterloo.

Ford at New Forest National Park

Highlight • Bridge

Took a break at this stream and enjoyed the scenery. You need to cross the stream via a ford which I guess means getting a bit wet when it floods - no problem on the day I cycled over it.

Winding Road Through New Forest National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful flowing section of road which can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace or with the hammer down.

Milkham Junction, New Forest National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stunning views across the New Forest - as the area is quite high up the roads are reasonably exposed so it’s always worth checking which way the wind is blowing before heading out.

Ocknell Plain, New Forest National Park

Highlight • Natural

Popular with hikers and birders, the road slices straight through Ocknell Plain. Another of the prime spots to see wild ponies roaming in the New Forest. During WW2, it was home to Stoney Cross Airfield. What was once the airstrip is now the straight piece of road that runs south west from Forest Road.
