SUMMER circular open-top bus tours around the beautiful New Forest have just begun.

Two-hour hop-on, hop-off services, which run both clockwise and anticlockwise, take in the sights and attractions at Brockenhurst, Lymington, Beaulieu, Exbury and Lyndhurst.

There is room for four bikes on board and the route has been designed to link up with Forestry Commission cycle routes.

The service is provided by BlueStar on behalf of New Forest District Council, Hampshire County Council and the National Park Authority.
