バーリーの絶景の山頂・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.

Off Furzley Road here, the wooded area is Crock Hill, which is a hill managed by National Trust: probably called Crock Hill as it was a Romano-British pottery site. At 37m, it's not going to cost you a lot of calories.

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

The trig point t the summit of White Moor stands at 49 m. It's not a very pronounced summit, but the trig helps with orientation when you run here. The trails in all directions are great fun, fairly flat and fast underfoot.

Holm Hill is an area of open heathland situated in the stunning New Forest National Park. The area is characterised by towering wind-blown Scots pine trees, sandy knolls, and various bogs.
