Your personal guide Steve will lead you from Keyhaven to our destination of Setley Ridge in The New Forest. We leave Keyhaven behind and head out on the sea wall next to The Solent and touching distance of the Isle of Wight, winds its way by the sea to Lymington. At the marina, there's time for a coffee stop before we head out of town. Over the railway line and following the river, we come to a footbridge to cross. Over the bridge and though the village of Boldre where a quiet bridleway meanders through the forest towards Setley, where sometimes deer may be found. A stop at Daisy Tea Garden allows time for lunch, fresh coffee and cake. On our return, we pass a small church that looks over Boldre and a quiet village of Pilley that sits at the edge of the forest. Back through Lymington and to find a  trail called  Ancient Highway.
