New Forest - national park in
the Great Britain. It is located in
the south of England and covers
an• area of just about 144 square
miles. This is one of the main
rural holiday destinations in
southern England, and every
year about eight million tourists
flock here to breathe of fresh air.
For the first time about New
Forest is mentioned in the "Book
of the Last Judgment" in 1086.
Over the past 900 years, the
appearance of the area has
changed several times. Today,
the New Forest is an amazingly
beautiful place with a unique
variety of flora and fauna. Only
deer in its territory inhabit as
many as 4 species.

In addition, the local population
traditionally cattle their livestock
here. In the park you can find
well-known amphibians - a viper
or a copperhead, as well as a
lesser-known comb newt. A
distinctive feature of the reserve
is centuries-old beeches and
oaks, as well as fairly rare plants.

Short story
Consultations on the possible
designation of a National Park in the
New Forest were commenced by the
Countryside Agency in 1999. On 28
June 2004, Rural Affairs Minister Alun
Michael confirmed the government's
intention to designate the area as a
National Park, with further detailed
boundary adjustments. The area was
formally designated as such on 1
March 2005. A national park authority
for the New Forest was established
on 1 April 2005 and assumed its full
statutory powers on 1 April 2006.

I decided to choose this park because I liked its nature and the
animals that are there. The nature in the photos of this park seems
mysterious and this attracted me.
