Brockenhurst through Halloween and Beyond




We took advantage of a sunny afternoon and drove to the New Forest...well, I guess it was new when it was created as a royal forest by William I in about 1079 for the royal hunt, mainly of deer.   It was created at the expense of more than 20 small hamlets and isolated farmsteads..the people were evicted.  It's considered a National Park now, with beautiful open areas that are rare in this heavily populated area of England.  Here's the link to more of Brockenhurst and beyond.
