The New Forest has much to offer in terms of natural beauty and landscape. It has many secrets to discover for those who are prepared to walk a mile or so from the many available car parks. Visited by millions of day visitors and tourists each year, its tranquillity belies the fact that the area is steeped in history from Bronze Age barrows to preparations for D-Day. Its deer were hunted by Kings and a King was killed in the Forest whilst out hunting. Its timber provided ships for Nelson's fleet whilst its glades provided cover for smugglers. It has been home to a Gunpowder factory and "bouncing bombs" were tested across its heaths. All this and more lies out there to be discovered but, above all, it is the home to a rich variety of wildlife and an oasis of calm and tranquillity.
