Ancient royal forest with open heathland and living pastoral traditions

New Forest National Park

The New Forest National Park is one of southern England's most distinctive landscapes, encompassing a remarkable blend of ancient royal forest history, traditional pastoral practices, and internationally significant lowland habitats. Located in southwest Hampshire and southeast Wiltshire, the area was proclaimed a royal forest by William the Conqueror around 1079 and has maintained an unbroken tradition of common grazing rights that continues to this day. The landscape is characterized by extensive tracts of open heathland, ancient beech and oak woodlands, valley mires, and the famous New Forest ponies that wander freely across the common land. As one of the largest remaining areas of unenclosed pasture, heathland, and forest in lowland Britain, the New Forest supports a remarkable concentration of biodiversity, including rare birds, reptiles, insects, and plants that have largely disappeared from the wider countryside.
