For 1km, it winds its way past the majestic tall trees – including the enormous coast redwoods, giant sequoia and Douglas firs – until you reach Brock Hill car park.

Go through the car park and join the gravel cycle path just beyond. Turn left and follow the path away from the road as it curves to the left and continues for 1.2km. At a crossroads, you’ll see New Forest cycle route marker post 244. Turn left and walk the 200m to the edge of Rhinefield Arboretum.
