This is another video in my series “New Forest Walks” accompanied by my Whippet (Logan). In this episode I take a 4 mile circular route from Ocknell Pond, which is situated to the West of Stoney Cross - just North of the A31.
Ocknell Pond, which has a legend attached to it (!), is bone dry during the height of the Summer and is positioned on the edge of what was once an RAF airfield in WW2. To see my previous video on RAF Stoney see the link below.
My route takes me South across Ocknell Plain to the small plantation of Winding Stonard. I head underneath the A31, via an underpass (which also serves as a Pony Pound) to enjoy the views across to Puckpitts Inclosure.
I head back through the underpass & head West to explore “The Spreading Oak” -one of the celebrity trees of the New Forest. After passing some New Forest Ponies & their foals, I pass through the Slufters Inclosure & over the Bratley Water stream and then head South again to investigate another, fairly large, Pony Pound.
I finish off by heading back to my starting point by walking back North through the Slufters Inclosure.
