Zusätzliche Informationen

There are no toilets or other facilities, but refreshments are available at Acres Down Farm Shop - when open. The Down is exposed to weather, although there are scattered trees for shelter and shade. The woods in the valley are readily accessed, but take care to keep a sense of direction - there are no direction signs. The New Forest ponies should be regarded as wild and not approached, particularly when with young.
