🏍️ Roaming Gloves | A Scenic Ride Through the A33 & New Forest National Park | UK Motovlog 🇬🇧
Hi All, welcome back to Roaming Gloves! I’m Ameet Keskar, and in today’s episode, we’re exploring a completely new landscape compared to my previous UK rides. Join me as we trade the motorways for scenic backroads, taking the beautiful A33 and heading deep into the New Forest National Park.
📍 Route Overview:
We begin on the A33, a far more interesting alternative to the M3. It connects Reading → Basingstoke → Winchester → Southampton, offering a mix of countryside views, small villages, and relaxed cruising zones with both 40–50 mph and 70 mph stretches.
🌿 New Forest Adventure:
From Totton, we loop around the New Forest, one of England’s most historic and biodiverse regions. Expect peaceful forest roads, ancient trees, grazing New Forest ponies, and charming towns like Lyndhurst, Beaulieu, and Brockenhurst.
🦌 Highlights in the New Forest:
Free-roaming ponies, deer, and rare birds
Historic roots as a royal hunting ground from the 10th century
Coastal views at Lepe
Cricket grounds, golf courses, and scenic rest spots
Along the way, I share tips on comfort (like using earplugs), challenges with navigation, and some fun rider interactions. If you’ve ever thought about exploring the UK countryside on two wheels — this is your sign!

hi all welcome to my YouTube channel Raming Claus I am Amit Keskar and today we will explore a completely different landscape than the previous rides in the UK So let’s go So it’s a long weekend in the month of May last week of May and we have 3 days off So I am trying to make the most of it So today we are going to do is what we are going to do is we are going to do uh a circuit around the new forest which is uh in the south of the country uh next to Southampton and from there we’ll first reach Southampton via A33 and uh we’ll be off there for a circuit come back in the evening Let’s see this It is going to be about 175 miles Um this will take about 5 hours but uh just the travel will take 5 hours but if you think about uh you know places that we stop and take some breaks and otherwise I think it is going to take the entire day So hopefully uh all goes well Let’s see More [Music] The reason for choosing A33 over M3 is that A- roads make journey much more interesting than boring straight motorways You have a lot of countryside that you can explore around if you want or take a break at a scenic location This A33 route is made up of three parts First part is from Reading to Basing Stoke where it connects both the towns Next part is from Basin Stoke to Winchester This is the scenic part of the Hamshshire and it’s fun to ride Next part is from Winchester to Southampton This part has all country roads with little villages in between All in all a very good ride This route has roads with 40 and 50 mile restrictions However it has some 70 mi stretches too which allows you to have a laid-back ride and some fast-paced travel as well [Music] [Music] [Music] We have reached Winchester now If you visit Winchester anytime do visit the cathedral It is one of the biggest cathedrals in Northern Europe and is a major pilgrimage site Winchester also has one of the oldest continuously running schools in England called Winchester College It was founded in 14th century The college has been used in filming movies such as Le Miserab and The Crown [Music] Winchester is also associated with the famous novelist Jane Austin She died here and her grave is in the Winchester Cathedral [Music] Just look at that Soon we reached the starting point of our circuit that is Tottenham We set our destination to McDonald’s and reached there in about 1 and 1/2 hours Luckily there was parking space available and we concluded the first leg of our journey After having a burger and an orange juice and 30 minutes of the saddle I started off for the main circular route around the New Forest National Park [Music] Recently I started using the earplugs for riding and I cannot tell you how comfortable it feels without the wind noise But only thing is I should remember to wear it [Music] him off So we have officially entered new forest A risk of having cows at Moses So you need to drive a bit slow The road sign is 40 But I think generally people are driving at 30 here We’ll see might take if it goes on for a while Now let’s just start So finally we have started our circuit around the forest This seems to be nice big pine trees The landscape here in some parts holds very ancient large trees but other areas are mostly shrubs as the soil is acidic and cannot sustain big trees and vegetation Most of the roads in New Forest have a speed limit of 40 mi and gives you time to cruise along and enjoy the wild views The New Forest National Park is mainly located in Hampshire with parts extending into Wilshshire Established as a royal hunting ground in the late 10th century it covers approximately 566 km It is renowned for its ancient woodlands heatlands and grasslands In the 18th century the new forest was a source of timber for the Royal Navy It was declared as a national park in 2005 In between there are places where you can park your vehicle and take a stroll around As you can see there are quite a few vehicles stopped here There are some dedicated cycling routes given for the bikers However off-road motorcycleycling is not allowed in the New Forest National Park [Music] [Music] [Music] The views can be distracting so you have to be a bit more careful about the focus on the road here [Music] There are some beautiful settlements in the forest like Lindhurst Buy and Brokenhurst As a rider I would suggest that you start early in the day for this circular route as later you might face vehicle traffic like I did Traffic Traffic I need to get rid of traffic Okay Cannot because there’s hardly any visibility This is so beautiful 30 zone Oh we are in poorly Okay you can see some white horses on the roads right This is nice Yeah it’s a little bit this Oh there’s a cricket match going on Let’s see what location to have cricket match It’s even born Okay [Music] that’s a four So inside the forest you have a cricket ground a golf course biking routes and a lot of camping and recreational areas as well This is a protection area for birds like ghost hawks night jars and woodlocks UK’s only poisonous reptile Add a snake can be found here And with more traffic there is a chance to meet that one driver that will disregard your presence on the road and try and overtake a biker [Music] [Music] The people who are native to the New Forest or have been living in the New Forest since generations are called commoners New forest has a coastline too and we will see that later in this video [Music] These ponies are called New Forest ponies They are indigenous to the New Forest and are one of the recognized breeds of ponies of the British Isles They are semiferal and roam freely here They are owned and looked after by the commoners Soon I reached the coastal line of the new forest in Lee where I decided to stop for pictures snack and drink I also met some fellow riders and took pictures with them Unfortunately I did not take their consent So cannot share those pictures here After about 30 minutes of break I started my further journey to Lindhurst Then I quickly realized that I forgot my ear plugs again [Music] Then I saw my new friend actually stopped to check if I was in any trouble and waited for me to pass [Music] Soon I took a left turn to Lindhurst and he went on straight to Tottenham [Music] Once again I was back in wilderness and open roads I took a left turn and then they realized that the navigation on the screen had disappeared So I stopped on the side to check if there is any issue with the phone battery but it was not It was an issue with the internet I hardly had any signal there I never expected this I created a GPX file and uploaded the route to the re app So it should have been a smooth sailing here Finally I looked at the offline Google map and started again After 15 minutes I stopped on the side just to check if I’m on the right track and confirmed the route to Lindhurst [Music] [Music] [Music] Somebody got some mail on the floor After Lindhurst I started my journey back to Tottenham again from where I went back through the same A33 route to Reading So that’s all from my side in this video I hope you guys like it If you like please give me a thumbs up and hit like and subscribe for more
