    Bad

    Finding truly accessible walks in the New Forest is challenging and dependent on weather but this walk works all year round. The disused railway from Brockenhurst to Ringwood is solid under foot (wheel) abdominal raised so well drained and from the Helmsley Tea rooms you can walk/wheel 10+ miles.
