Greetings!
The Forest looks like a spectacular scene from Narnia with the snowfalls we have had this week. From our offices we can even see a snow-covered Tennyson Down on the Isle of Wight. Why not check out the latest views of the Forest on our webcams at Brockenhurst and Bucklers Hard?
The members and staff of the New Forest National Park would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and invite you to view our Christmas photo gallery. Please note, our headquarters will be closed on Monday 27, Tuesday 28 and Friday 31 December 2010 and Monday 3 January 2011.
Best wishes,
The New Forest National Park Authority team |
