I used to live there, for around three years, I love nature and I felt horrible when I had to move, luckily there is a very strong chance that I will be able to move back in a few months time. Thank you for this documentary it’s given me a lot of hope for the future

I went there in 2016 and all the parking areas were full of people in cars dogging! Seriously it was overrun.

I know the New Forest very well, since my parents lived there (in the village of Minstead) for twenty years, and I visited it for holidays for longer than that. This video may be OK as far as it goes (I cannot listen for long to the somewhat off-putting tone of the commentary), but I have to say that there is a far better video about the place on KZfaq, i.e. "Ytene, England's Ancient Forest", brilliantly, quietly, and authoritatively narrated by the actor John Nettles (he of "Bergerac" and "Midsomer Murders" fame). As far as I am concerned, that video is the standard one, and cannot be bettered. If anybody really wants an absorbing account of the Forest, I recommend that one, and I think that anything else is completely un-necessary.

@barryandjackypowell8239 8 ай бұрын

I watched that before this one. While the subject matter is the same, they are different and expand on a different narrative focusing more on the commoners of today rather than some of the more historical aspects.

@pacjam418 7 ай бұрын

The world is big enough to have MANY videos of this forest. Having 1 perspective of this place or any place is a terrible, terrible idea. Good for the filmmaker of this video for taking a year to focus on this gem. I hope more people do videos of this lesser known place.

Wow, a documentary that actually celebrates British culture and ways of knowing and being and doesn't shovel tonnes of 'climate' and other ideology at the poor viewer. 10/10

This is a well-filmed account of one of the most wonderful parts of the UK, but was spoilt for me by two things. Firstly, the audio quality does not match that of the video, with fluctuating sound levels throughout (and often unnecessary and intrusive music). Secondly, the presenter's over-dramatic style, seemingly to draw attention to himself as the "star" of the programme, detracts from the real star, the forest. His histrionics are unnecessary, and a less self-important presenter would have improved the overall enjoyment of the story.

Awesome but i can't understand why people are not allowed to wild camp in this place, it seems to be immoral to me.

Thank you for watching, We worked closely with the New Forest National Park Authority and the commoners, to film a true representation of life and practices of the forest. Their website has a wealth of information on preserving and maintaining this ancient and special place :) www.newforestnpa.gov.uk/
