"Quilljar" expounded:

I live very near The New Forest, a bit further East than you thought!
So much of it has been cut down (originally to build warships to fight the
French) that it is largely open heathland now. We like to walk there too...

o doubt it is further east, I was on a Mass. Horticulture garden tour,
started at the Chelsea flower show and went east then south then west,
it was a wonderful trip. I could retire and die happily in Cornwall.
You're so lucky, to live in such a gardening country. There's nothing
like that over here.
