England Coast Path Part 5A Beaulieu to Hythe pier

Distance 7:28 Miles 

Elevation gain 221 Feet

Time 2:21

It's a murky overcast day, Beaulieu has a very small ''High street'' which we park in & stroll over to the bus stop for the once a day bus. 

We wait & wait & wait, but no bus appears, the appointed time comes & goes, still no bus, we give it a little more time but STILL NO BUS. Change of plan we will  walk from Beaulieu to Hythe & figure out hoe to get back later on. 

We set off on our Luckily short hike from Beaulieu to Hythe pier across the common land with the lovely ponies & industrial back drop.

The common land is not very inspiring & not many pictures were taken, nothing to wright about happened on the walk.

Arriving at hythe pier we look at transport links to get us back to Beaulieu, The best we can do is a bus going from Dibden Purlieu but not all the way back to Beaulieu. We walk up to Dibden Purlieu & wait for the bus, It Arrives!  we get on only to find that there are roadworks on the route & the bus is diverted cutting a section, the stop we need out of it's journey!

We exit the bus at the Royal Oak & have to walk back two may be three miles.

Feeding the birds

Back at Beaulieu we find a cafe & sit in the courtyard & fill up on tea & cake an interesting day.
