A striking and very curiously shaped tree here in the company of very tall firs! This is tree is common to the Pacific north-west: although called a western red cedar, it does not, in fact, belong to the cedar family but is of the cypress family instead.

This tree is stunning! The entire area of the New Forest is beautiful & worth a visit.
It is a "Natural" Arboretum. There are Red Cedars, beautiful walks & wooden carved sculptures.
However, please remember that there IS another car park... Everyone parks in the "Blackwater car park", and it gets SO busy, people block each other in, truly (as a previous local) it's madness. The next car park is a short walk away.
The trails around the area are stunning 😍 and, if you're at the right time of year, you may see Mares with their foals!
Even if you see the ponies, it's lovely.
