Bolton's Bench is a well-known natural knoll and landmark situated on the edge of Lyndhurst, the "capital" of the New Forest. A prominent ancient yew tree grows at the top of the hill, which is surrounded by grassy lawns where the New Forest's famous ponies, donkeys, and cattle often graze freely. According to a medieval tale, a dragon that terrorized the nearby village of Bisterne was slain on the site by a knight named Sir Maurice de Berkeley. The dragon's body supposedly became the hill, and the ancient yew trees grew where the knight and his hounds later died.

An amazing and very charming place that hides some secrets from the past..

Beautiful scenic section just before you get to the dead trees.

Nothing lives in this place. Legend from commoners ( habitants of the new forest ), tell of the death of a young boy here in the early 1800's. His family buried him here and within days the woods around his body decayed and died. Birds won't even sit on the branches. it's a very eerie place.

Amazing place to explore, good footwear is a must as it can be wet, but worth every visit

A somewhat ridiculously beautiful track in Holidays Hill Inclosure between the pond at the track junction to the north-west and the Reptile Centre to the south-east. The way sunlight trickles down through the trees here is incredible. There are many impressively tall and large trees here, and the sense of peace is all-pervading. Enjoy it while you're here!

In Holidays Hill Inclosure, this spot encourages you to "Listen" - to the trees, that is. Slow your life down to a crawl and listen to the language of nature. A lovely idea, this.

The New Forest Reptile Centre is open all summer until the end of September. Discover more about British reptiles and amphibians and how they are being conserved in the New Forest. Specially created display enclosures allow you to study these animals in close-up. This includes the only collection of all the native lizards, snakes, frogs and toads, including Britain's only venomous snake - the adder - and the rarest lizard - the sand lizard. In addition to reptiles and amphibians, the New Forest Reptile Centre is home to 'A Date With Nature in the New Forest', which affords an opportunity to see birds of prey close up on nest cams.
