I'd ride to Hythe and take the Ferry to Soton if I wanted to have a nice time. But it's only hourly on a Sunday.
The only real alternative is - Take some gravel tracks (nice 👌) to Lyndhurst. Get a bit stuck on the Lyndhurst gyratory, then chug along a cycle path next to a big road until Ashurst. Wiggle through some suburbia and then follow cycle paths along massive roads through Totton into Soton.
Does anyone have a nice mixed surface / quiet route from New Forest to Southampton? Rail replacement bus on Sundays from Brockenhurst to Southampton, so need to ride that leg.
