セントレオナルズアンドセントアイブスの絶景の山頂・トップ5

The New Forest is called "new" because it was established in 1079 by William the Conqueror as the "New Royal Hunting Forest." At that time, farmers were granted the right to freely graze their horses, cattle, and even pigs. This right still applies today... they also roam freely in the villages, which is why all houses have either a gate or a cattle grid. The landscape is magnificent, and the hiking is wonderful.

The giant oaks are widely spaced, allowing them to form large crowns. Were they planted as "pasture oaks"? To provide acorns for the cattle that were driven into the forest for grazing?

Beautiful panoramic views of the new forest.

A place where the infmaous ragged boys gang would play before it was used for bombing raid practice.

One of the largest remaining areas of heathland in Dorset. The 344 hectares of Canford Heath are a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. Careful management of the heath is needed to stop other plant life blocking out the heather on which the local wildlife relies. Canford Heath has a real wilderness feel and you can easily spend two hours walking or cycling around its paths. News and events are available on the Poole's heathlands Facebook page. Entrances There are entrances to Canford Heath at Gravel Hill lay-by and on Culliford Crescent and Francis Avenue. The nearest postcode is BH21 3BW. Parking There is limited parking on roads near this reserve. Dogs Dogs must be on a short lead when livestock is near and during the bird breeding season from 1 March to 31 July. At other times dogs must be under close control. Habitats Broad-leaf woodland, dry and wet heath and valley mire and bog. Look out for Dragonflies, damselflies, Dartford warblers, nightjars and all six species of British reptile.

Lodge Hill at 70 m is the highest point on Canford Heath. Great views across the heath and south over Bournemouth.

Summerlug Hill at the northeastern corner of Holt Heath offers a small amount of elevation (33 m) and views across the heath. There is also a tumulus.

The trig point on Bull Barrow to the north of Holt Heath stands at 57m. The barrow is Neolithic or Bronze age.
