Why tour here? Renowned for the diversity of its wildlife and the beauty of its landscapes, the New Forest has been pleasing visitors ever since it was created by William the Conqueror around 1079 for the pursuit of the ‘beasts of the chase’, including red, roe and fallow deer and wild pig. Today’s pursuits are altogether more gentle, with an abundance of walks and cycle trails around this remarkable National Park. Find out more about places to visit in the New Forest on p34.
