Spirit of The New Forest

Most people would say that the best time to visit Hampshire's New Forest would be the autumn, when the dying sun tints the leaves of the Forest every shade of yellow and gold imaginable.

But there's much more to the New Forest than the glory of its autumns. More than 60 wonderful images in Mike Read's superb book show off all the seasons superbly. From the delicate fresh greens of the first leaves of spring; the full bosky glory of summer and purple hue of the heathland heather, and through to the blueshadowed blanket of a winter snowfall - all the seasons are here, and each have their own particular beauty.
