Hordle Cliff - Milford-on-Sea Walk 1 - "This lovely walk is along the cliff top from the car park in both directions. To the east, once you get to the Paddy’s Gap car park, there is a long gentle slope down towards the White House, although this is less than 5% gradient. There are bench seats at frequent and regular intervals all along the coastal path, as well as the wooden or brick shelters with seating, marked on the map. This is a very easy walkwith lovely views over the Solent and you can choose the length of the walk to suit your circumstances." Walk 2 -" You can continue along the promenade to the east. This walk is made more difficult by a short but awkward stretch where the promenade curves seaward to pass around the White House. There are gradients of 15% down with a crossfall of 16% in places for 20 metres (22 yards) followed by a 5 metres (5.5 yards) stretch upwards of 14% slope with a crossfall of up to 8%. (It is possible to go inland here around the White House grounds and rejoin the walk at Hurst Road car park). You can travel as far as the Hurst Road East car park, although the views in places are partly spoiled by the concrete roofs of beach huts on the shingle seafront below. The Sturt Pond walk starts from this car park" - from the New Forest website
