Product Description
Created by William the Conqueror in 1079, the New Forest is largest area of lowland heath and ancient woodland in Britain. Easily accessible from London, it can appear in places to be very remote, both in time and location. This is the perfect guide for those wishing to get to know the New Forest better: a series of undemanding short circular walks, which, when tackled individually or linked together in a week's walking, form a complete circuit of the New Forest. The detailed descriptions of each route, with simple maps, contain information on local history, geography and wildlife, as well as special 'Near by' sections, pointing out additional attractions and views the New Forest has to offer on the way. Separate sections outline the background, culture and natural history of the area. This book is a comprehensive introduction to a beautiful and unique corner of England.

not in the thick of the forest but nice for the edges and surounding areas
The book itself is well written and presented and the cover is well made. But I was looking for a book that helps me find forest walks, not walks along roads outside the forest. This book is largely outside the main forest and seems to take you through some lovely villages, light forest areas, open land and coastline etc... and I am sure the walks are lovely. I am just a bit angry as I wanted a book on New Forest Walks in the heart of the thick forest. Just be sure it is what you want I guess. I guess the key is in the title 'around' and not 'in' the forest itself. If you want 'around' and not 'in' the forest then this really is a great book.
