In this episode, Dave explores the area around King’s Hat – located about 3 miles to the West of Dibden & 7 miles to the South East of Lyndhurst.
Dave’s 3 mile circular route starts & finishes at the Forestry Commission car park at King’s Hat and initially takes him South West over the River Beaulieu & past Starpole Pond. After a gradual climb up the side of Gurnetfields Furzebreake, Dave heads North to visit a monument known as the Carter Memorial from where he enjoys some stunning views.
Dave then heads Eastwards, through some woodland and back over the Beaulieu River and past a Bronze Age burial cemetery (consisting of 6 round barrows) before heading back to the car park.
At the end of the video, Dave introduces his new puppy (“Fiver”) to viewers. Dave expects that he will be making some guest appearances on future walks.
