Dave and his dog, Logan, enjoy another New Forest walk. This circular route explores the area to the North of Beaulieu Road, Hampshire. The walk explores Matley Wood & Matley Ridge including the site of a WW1 Trench Mortar School, a War Dog Training Camp and the impressive Park Pale Embankment. As well as coming across some amazing fungi, I explain about the various types of Deer that can be found in the New Forest.
