This vintage book contains a charming guide to the New Forest, an area
of southern England which includes one of the largest remaining tracts
of unenclosed pasture land, heathland and forest in the heavily
populated south-east of England. It covers southwest Hampshire and
extends into southeast Wiltshire and towards east Dorset. With
interesting historical information as well as detailed descriptions of
its beauty and more, this is a volume not to be missed by anyone with an
interest in this glorious example of English countryside and woodland.
Contents include: "The Forest Laws", "Courts of the Forest", "General
History of the New Forest", "The Vert and the Venison", "The Northern
Portion of the New Forest", "Lyndhurst and its Neighbourhood", "Breulieu
and the South-Easten Angle", "Ecclesiastical Establishments with Rights
in the New Forest", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming
increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in
an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original
text and artwork.
