Why Pedal & Paddle?
Itinerary

Pedal & Paddle lets you experience the New Forest coast from two completely different perspectives. First, explore by e-bike, linking coastal tracks, forest paths and open landscapes with ease. Then slow everything down as you take to the water, paddling quietly through sheltered coastal waters rich in wildlife.
The contrast is what makes this experience special: thrilling cycling adventures, movement and stillness, land and sea, all in one carefully balanced New Forest adventure.
