Description
The New Forest, a World Heritage Site since 1999, may not be as old as its name suggests. Created around 1079 for William the Conqueror as an exclusive royal hunting ground, it has retained much of its ancient character.
Despite being only half wooded, the forest is home to fascinating facts and little-known personalities from its history. Author Martin Brisland delves beneath the surface to reveal tales of remarkable characters, unusual events, and hidden historical buildings and locations.
This book offers a unique insight into the history of southern England's most iconic area, appealing to anyone with an interest in the region's rich past.
