Holiday cottages in New Forest

The New Forest: William the Conqueror planted it to hunt stags in; his son, William II (Rufus), was shot dead hunting one in it (possibly assassinated). Woods of oak and chestnut (many ancient and magnificent still) and other deciduous trees still sweep magnificently over the sandy soil with moorland between and pretty and interesting villages hidden in clearings. Deer live in it and much other wildlife, and ponies but fewer people than in most English places. Lovely for wandering, riding and picnicking in woodland glades. Lyndhurst is its main centre; Cadnam and Minstead are pretty villages. It extends to the Beaulieu River estuary and Lymington on the coast with its ferry to the Isle of Wight.
