There is quite a long approach road to Black Knowl with speed bumps at regular intervals. If I recall correctly they are all signed on the side of the road. The answer is to approach and pass over very slowly and you should be OK. My last visit they was when we had a Reich Mover which is much lower than most othersand we did not have a problem. I have been over far worse!

No problems at all.   Don't worry about it.  And I can't believe how some people reviewed on how narrow the approach road was.  We were in a MH and met a few cars but there's room to pass and passing places.

A couple of years ago I complained to the New Forest District Council; after returning home at the state of the road with particular regard to potholes on the edge of the road adjacent to the speed bumps which were not noticeable as you approached the bumps. They even went to inspect them but didn't make anything of my complaint. They were still there when we visited last autumn.The speed bumps are not too bad but to drop into a pothole after coming off the bump rearranges everything inside the caravan.

Apparently the road is not owned by the NFDC but the Forestry Commission. The purpose of the bumps is to slow vehicles to avoid hitting deer which have a habit of running out of the trees to cross the road so be careful.
