Coo! I only live a mile or 2 from the New Forest! And to be honest, there's not huge amount of old stuff in the Forest itself - lovely though it is! There's a load of barely discernable barrows and earthworks, but nothing in the way of stones (although I'm convinced a bit of archaeology would reveal plenty!) - maybe the odd hillfort or 3...
Knowlton Henge ( http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/44) isn't too far out, and is a fantastic place... And if you DO go up that way, a little sarsen stone (which I've never visited) is quite close by ( http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2120)
My girlfiend has been working in Christchurch for the last year, sometimes we go out to the New Forrest for a walk and im like "walk to see what?" and she is just like for a walk. Its funny Im not sure I can go for a walk in the countryside anymore without having to be going to see something, I know its bad!
Ive had a look at a few maps and there doesnt seem to be much ancient stuff around. I havent gone to the Knowlton henge, im over the august bank holiday weekend so I will watch this thread with interest.
