Get to grips with nature in one of England's most stunning National Parks...
Around 1,000 years ago King William fancied a patch of woodland for a deer hunt: he created the New Forest. Over the centuries that followed the area has been hunted on and trees have been chopped down to build ships and then to replenish wood stocks during the World Wars. Despite this, the New Forest still enjoys royal protection, and it became a National Park in 2005. That's why this pristine dot on the map of southern England has so much to offer to visitors in the way of unspoiled rural adventures and refreshing walks.
This great patch of woodland, heathland and grassland - more than 200 square miles of it - is located mostly in the county of Hampshire, just nudging into Wiltshire and approaching the eastern border of Dorset. It enjoys a coast on the Solent, with views across to the Isle of Wight, and is serviced by towns, villages, and the cities of Southampton to the east, Bournemouth to the west, and Salisbury to the north.
