A Walk Around the New Forest: In Thirty-five Circular Walks by Norman Henderson, ISBN 9780711227095

Publisher Description:
Created by William the Conqueror in 1079, the New Forest is the largest area of pasture, heathland and ancient forest in the south of England. Easily accessible from London, it can appear in places to be very remote, both in time and location. Norman Henderson provides the perfect guide for those wishing to get to know the New Forest better: a series of undemanding short circular walks that, when tackled individually or linked together in a week's walking, form a complete circuit, or perambulation, 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. In addition, separate sections outline the background, culture and natural history of the New Forest, making this book a comprehensive introduction to a beautiful and unique corner of England.
