Hampshire's best pram-friendly walks named among UK's best for families by iCandy study

With warmer weather finally arriving across the UK, pushchair specialists iCandy analysed over 100 'pram-friendly' walks to reveal which ones were the most picturesque, perfect for families looking for beautiful walks to enjoy together this spring. Hampshire is home to three of the “top most beautiful pram-friendly walks”, with routes around the New Forest providing a great day out for the whole family. 

The three Hampshire walks in the top 15 are:

1. Tall Trees Trail Circular, Brockenhurst

2. Acres Down Woodland, Lyndhurst

3. Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary and Bolderwood Grounds Circular, Lyndhurst

Cameron Appel, Vice CEO at iCandy, said: “As a new parent myself, I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to miss out on beautiful walks because paths aren’t suitable for prams. It almost feels like the world shrinks a bit. So, we hope this new guide will open up the UK to families who want to enjoy stunning walks in nature with a pushchair.”

To reveal the UK’s prettiest country walks for families, the pushchair experts at iCandy analysed data for over 320 ‘stroller friendly’ walks on AllTrails that were noted for their accessibility. iCandy ranked each of the walks against four key criteria to create an index: walk difficulty, the average review score, the total number of reviews and the total number of photos posted to Instagram. For the 100 most reviewed walks, the results were then weighted to award each walk a total score out of 100.

With a chart-topping score of 90, Damflask Reservoir walk, near Sheffield in stunning South Yorkshire, is the UK’s best and most beautiful pram-friendly walk. Hampshire, and more specifically, the New Forest, is home to three of the top 20 walks, with Tall Trees Trail and Acres Down Woodland both ranking in 6th place, and Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary taking 14th place in the study.
