Walking facilities are provided locally to the site, with a footway running along the southern side of Station Road which bounds the Site’s southern boundary.

National Cycle Network
The National Cycle Network provides huge benefits to health and wellbeing, with 4.4 million people using the network between 2017 and 2018. 786 million walking and cycling trips were made on the Network. As a result, £88 million was saved through reduced road congestion.
The Regional Cycle Network Route NB (RCNRB) is a regional cycling route which routes between Alderbury to Shaftesbury in the north and south where it adjoins with the National Cycle Network Routes 24 and 253 respectively. The RCNRB is most easily accessed at the mini roundabout junction between Salisbury Street / the B3078 Bridge Street / the B3078 High Street in the centre of Fordingbridge.
