Description

This vintage book contains a charming guide to the New Forest, an area of southern England which includes one of the largest remaining tracts of unenclosed pasture land, heathland and forest in the heavily populated south-east of England. It covers southwest Hampshire and extends into southeast Wiltshire and towards east Dorset. With interesting historical information as well as detailed descriptions of its beauty and more, this is a volume not to be missed by anyone with an interest in this glorious example of English countryside and woodland. Contents include: "The Forest Laws", "Courts of the Forest", "General History of the New Forest", "The Vert and the Venison", "The Northern Portion of the New Forest", "Lyndhurst and its Neighbourhood", "Breulieu and the South-Easten Angle", "Ecclesiastical Establishments with Rights in the New Forest", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
