NEW FOREST WALK at PYLEWELL PARK near LYMINGTON (NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK)

This is another video in my series “New Forest Walks” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode, I visit the Pylewell Park Estate (2 miles East of Lymington) and explore the surrounding area. I park my car in Tanners Lane (just of Sowley Lane) and start my walk on the shore with super views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight. I head West following a permissive footpath with the Pylewell Park Estate on my right and the Boldre Foreshore Nature Reserve on my left. I cross a bridge over Plummers Water and head slightly inland along a path that takes me through woods then over meadows as far as Shotts Lane at which point I head North. I get the chance to check out the location of RAF Lymington an Advanced Landing Ground (basically a temporary airfield) in WW2. There is an information board and indeed still one of the original hangars on the site. I follow the Solent Way (Long Distance Path) Eastwards through the estate with sightings of Pylewell House itself and past a pretty cricket ground & edge of a lake towards Sowley Road before heading back to my car in Tanners Lane. The video includes a clip of a quick look at St Marys Church at South Baddesley (just North of the estate) with it's distinct slender West Tower. I should point out that there is a muddy section (even in the Summer months) on the path that goes through the woods from the shore to the camping field so good waterproof boots are essential. Corrections: The Pylewell Cricket pitch is to the North EAST of Pylewell House (and not the North West as indicated in the video). The brick building that I highlight at the end of a field is a fuel pumping station - from WW2 - rather than a fuel store. Map courtesy of Google Maps. Aerial pictures courtesy of Google Maps.
