Jarrold Pathfinder 12 - Hampshire & The New Forest
ISBN: 0-7117-0609-3
The New Forest is Hampshire's crowning glory. Its ancient woods, heathlands and bogs make it important as one of the few remaining sanctuaries for some of Britain's rare wildlife and, of course, a haven for its famous wild ponies.
This collection offers several routes through typical New Forest scenery of streams, heath and woodland, including Brockenhurst, Highland Water, Standing Hat and Bishop's Dyke, that provides interest at all times of year. The guide also contains an archaeological trail through Micheldever Wood, a coastal walk from Milford on Sea with views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight and the Needles, a look around the flint and brick village Ashmansworth (the highest in Hampshire), explorations of the marshes at Lymington and Pennington, a route through Winchester's historic Cathedral Close, and a walk through the remains of a Roman town near Silchester.
