Jarrold Short Walks 23 - New Forest
ISBN: 0-7117-2425-3
The New Forest is the jewel of Hampshire's crown. Relatively unchanged for centuries, it continues to provide wonderful opportunities for the walker to experience both its unique woodland and rare wildlife.
The New Forest is a working, living landscape consisting of peaceful lawns and wild heather moorland, all of which set it apart as a place for the peaceful enjoyment of nature. Its proximity to the commuter belt of the south east means that it is ideally placed for weekend walks, while it continues to attract visitors from much further afield, who come to stay and explore the area for a week or two.
This guide is perfect for holidaymakers, day visitors or even locals. The walks take in views of the Solent and the Isle of Wight (very accessible by ferry), and the opportunity to discover the salt marshes and sealife around Keyhaven, Lymington and Lepe.
Inland the Forest walks offer a wealth of natural history - flora and fauna abound and it is certainly these features that recur throughout the walks. Whether it is a kingfisher, a White Admiral butterfly, a grey plover or the famous ponies, the New Forest, and these walks, offer the chance to explore and enjoy an area uniquely rich in wildlife.
