The New Forest

The New Forest has been a holiday destination throughout the ages – a world where
ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer roam free.

There’s a huge range of activities in this vast area of
woodland – cycling, walking, horse riding, golf, water sports
and more. And you can get up close and personal with the
ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer that roam free.

This one came right up to check me out.

The area includes one of the largest remaining tracts of
unenclosed pasture land, heathland and forest in the heavily populated south east of England. The
name also refers to the New Forest National Park which has similar boundaries. Read more . . .

them, they’ve gathered them all together at Beaulieu in the World of Top Gear – a special
exhibition in homage to the world’s biggest car show.
