Dist:0.1km<br/>Rhinefield Road leaves North Weirs on the western edge of Brockenhurst and heads off across White Moor towards Rhinefield. The wooden posts on the verge are known as "dragons' teeth" - they are a measure to prevent unauthorised vehicular access to the open heathland.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Fifty years ago when we used to picnic here it was possible to drive motor cars onto the green moor in order to find the best site for a family cricket match. However ecological concerns about unrestricted vehicular access have led to the Forestry Commission inserting these mini-dragon's teeth stakes and attendant ditches. These precautions confine vehicles to car-parks, such as the one above. It's probably all for the best!
