| The New Forest |
| The New Forest is the eighth National Park and possibly
the most diverse in terms of wildlife. William the Conqueror was so awestruck by its
beauty that in 1079 he set it aside for his own hunting and that of his Royal parties.
Today the New Forest is visited by well over 22 million people of all age groups. This
in turn has increased the need to protect the species that live here and the way of
life that has evolved among the forest folk over centuries. |
