More Information:
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
The closest car park to the start of the Trail begins is the Burley Car Park (BH24 4AB), located behind the Queen's Head pub in Burley. Or, if you don't fancy the drive, why not try the New Forest Tour bus to make the most of the fantastically stunning surroundings?
This Trail route is friendly for wheelchair and pushchair users. However, there are many stretches of Trail with little or no pavement, so please take care.
Bring your four-legged friends along, but please note that they will need to be kept on a lead.
There are public toilets available at the start point and approximately halfway through the Trail, and the route passes several pubs, restaurants and a few cafes along the way.
Why not make a day of it and swap witches for pirates on our Burley Village Forest and Footpaths treasure hunt!
Mini Detective Club
Mini Detective Club
We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from
the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
