The B3058 is a winding route across the New Forest.
The road starts its journey at a junction with the A35 in the beautiful surroundings of Holmsley. It proceeds southeast to the Rising Sun Inn at Wootton, where it turns south and goes through the little village of Bashley on its way to New Milton. The road crosses the B3055 at a small roundabout (SZ242965) before going on to become the main street of New Milton town, Station Road, after crossing the railway by the railway station.
It reaches the A337 at the roundabout at SZ246943, whereupon it becomes the main road to the village of Milford on Sea. The route reaches the coast at Hordle Cliff, with clifftops to the south and respectable housing to the north. We then reach the village green before turning north to Everton and rejoining the A337 at SZ291938. In this last section, the B3058 is essentially the main road into Milford for those approaching from the east.
In 1922 the B3058 consisted only of the section south of the A337 (then numbered B3054). It was extended north into the New Forest and the A35 later in the 1920s.
