A beautiful Autumn morning in the New Forest in Hampshire and a place where the biggest bomb ever to land in Britain was dropped in 1945. The site is now marked by the Ordance Survey as a Tumulus (OS GR SU200141). It's a good walk - but if you can't get there, just sit back and watch the video.

  • Please excuse my ignorance; I do not live in England not yet anyway. Is the New Forest merely a forest or isn't it also a municipality located in Hampshire? The forest looks so lovely, by the way!

  • The New Forest is a national park created in 2005 which lies mainly in south-west Hampshire. It is a special and important area and its designation as a national park means the strongest possible level of protection for the future. It is a nationally important environment of woodland pasture, heaths, bogs and the remains of 17th, 18th & 19th century coppices and timber plantations. It is grazed by the ponies, cattle and pigs of the local "Commoners".

  • Beautiful and very moving. Made me very homesick from far away in Japan.

  • and you're not even allowed to wild camp there yet it's ok to drop bombs and wipe out wild life and forests

  • We used to camp on an old airfield which I think was at Ashley heath

  • Very interesting and well filmed, a beautiful part of England. A well deserved5/5.

  • Absolutely beautiful! Just beautiful...

  • Thanks for posting. I'm luck to drive across the forest every morning from Ringwood into Lyndhurst. We should never take this place for granted. We are surrounded by beauty.

  • lol, accident! Oh dear, I've 'accidently' shot William Rufus with an arrow. I thought he was a deer.

  • I want to visit at some stage I never have been there.

    A part of English History. Indeed.

    Great Sound track.

  • ooh interesting, thanks for telling me.
