Interesting Facts About The New Forest...

There are numerous reasons why a holiday to the New Forest is so very special. It has a lot of history, wonderful little towns and villages to visit and natural beauty that rivals any in the world.

Just some of the wildlife that you will see on your holiday to the New Forest are deers, ponies, cows, pigs, horses and a wide variety of interesting birds. Indeed, the area is a favourite with the bird watching crowd. The horses and ponies are particularly common and can usually be seen wandering on and around the fields by the roadside. Some ponies have been spoilt by visitors feeding them, so if you make a stop to take a photo don’t be surprised to see them wandering up to you and even sniffing you in their search for food.

During certain periods when the gorse blooms, the forest is covered in a blanket of yellow where these bushes are spread. This can make for a stunning view.

There are also some exquisite thatched cottages in and around the new forest that are hardly in keeping with the 21^st century.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is buried in a small New Forest Town called Minstead – he’s most famous for several books including “The White Company” which is based on events that happen in the New Forest.
