Ride to High Corner Inn, Mockbeggar (Pete C)
‘High Corner Inn’ at Mockbeggar (North of Ringwood)
(For those wishing for a shorter ride, there will be an option to stop at Ringwood)
| Our route will take us down to Sainsbury Roundabout and up the track shadowing the Christchurch Bypass. We’ll then head towards Ringwood via the lanes.
Before we get too Ringwood we’ll take the road to Crow Poulner and Hightown. We cycle through Crow and Hightown and on to Poulner. We will then see a sign post which states that our next destination (Linwood) is 2½ miles away, they tell porky pies! We then take the Linwood route over undulating roads (it’s nearly all down hill on the way back). The route to Linwood is some of the best scenery in the New Forest and is not to be missed. After passing 2 pubs The Alice Lyle and The Red Shoot we will arrive at the High Corner view point and down the hill leads us to the High Corner Inn. The most remote pub in the forest it’s certainly out in the sticks!! We should arrive the High Corner Inn about 12:00 hr! They are open until 14:30 hr for food and the bar closes at 15:00 hr – we should be well gone by then. They serve coffee, snacks, lunches and beers. Pete will ring the pub when we leave the castle to get an idea of numbers so they can be ready for us. It’s 11 miles to Ringwood and a further 5 miles to the High Corner Inn making a total of 16 miles each way. Not sure what time we will be back at the castle – depends on how long we’re at the pub! |
