The NEW FOREST |
|
The Forest of Kings |
|
The New Forest in Hampshire, England is a wild area of ancient
woodland and wild heaths. For hundreds of years, the New Forest was
the ancient hunting preserve of the English Royal Family. The
conflict between the local peasants' needs to raise cattle and
ponies, and the king's need for hunting deer and providing trees for
the naval fleet have left a unique legacy on this rich and attractive
landscape.
Ponies and cattle roam free in beautiful woodland glades, and make their way across desolate wet and dry heathland. This historic landscape of intense beauty, shaped by man and nature, can now be found nowhere else in the world. |
