Greetings!
One of the biggest events in the New Forest calendar is nearly upon us and we are hoping to meet you at our New Forest Show stand.
You can discover the vital role the New Forest played during World War II. Find out what happened where and how the area looks today on our discovery trail, bring along your photos, documents and memories for us to record and get up close to a real Spitfire aeroplane.
On 14 July the London Torch Relay will be going through Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Lymington. Read on to find out more about exciting events planned.
For those who want a more leisurely experience, the New Forest Tour starts tomorrow. Now you can leave your car at home and climb aboard an open top bus to explore the New Forest on two interchangeable routes.
Have fun exploring the New Forest this summer.
Best wishes,
The New Forest National Park Authority team
