The forest is beautiful, full of so much beauty!

The Moot boasts the remains of an 11th-century motte and bailey castle, the earthworks of which can still be explored today. The impressive Moot House was built in the 17th century and was host to an earthen amphitheatre where many plays, particularly Shakespeare's, were performed. It all makes for an interesting detour when running along the Avon Valley Path.

Hatchet Green is surrounded by characterful thatched cottages and is part of Hale, a scattered Forest community. The earliest cottages were built using cob in the late 18th century and are still traditionally thatched in the simple long straw style without the elaborately patterned block ridges common since the 1960s. The green itself is used by the local primary school and is also the local cricket pitch. It's also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its rare plants and wildlife.

Hatchet Green in the village of Hale is very pretty, quintessentially English, with a number of benches on the perimeter. A great place to rest, maybe picnic, and watch the world go by!

Lovely ice cream stop

Lovely bit of open green filled with New Forest's local residents, wild ponies and cows. Perfect spot for a dog walk or picnic.

Hale Purlieu is a quiet straight road, linking Woodgreen with Hatchet Green. It's an excellent section of woodland road cycling which runs alongside Hale Purlieu common, an area managed by the National Trust.

Hidden away in the tiny village of Downton, the Moot is the remains of an 11th century motte and bailey castle. Like much of this region, Downton is the home of numerous historic discoveries dating back to neolithic times and the Moot is actually next to the remains of a Roman Villa. The earthworks that can be walked around today are from a Norman castle and form part of extensive landscaped gardens. Free to the public, this is a perfect spot for a mosey about and a cracking open of the thermos flask. Moot House was built in the 1600s and landscaped the castle earthworks. They had an earthen amphitheatre built which saw many plays performed, particularly Shakespeare's.
