I have made it to the New Forest!

Wow how gorgeous is The New Forest! So very different from the Secret Forest as there are no tropical plants but huge Oak and Beech trees. I was surprised to learn a large majority of the forest is covered in Heathland which has the most beautiful sprays of heather growing for miles. There were also no paddy melons or whip birds in site but I saw a lot of ponies!

I was also very surprised to see donkeys and pigs walking down the road as well! The animals seem to ‘rule the roost’ in The New Forest and cars are warned to drive very slowly as the animals are free to roam wherever they like. Oh I am loving my holiday so far and can’t wait to explore more of this amazing forest!
