The original guidebook that covers every square mile of the New Forest, and its follow up, New Forest 222 Plus
By Jodi Longyear
New Forest 222 is a different sort of guide book. It divides the New Forest National Park into 222 individual mile squares, so every part is covered, and the author Jodi Longyear has visited every single one. He brings a fresh eye to this beautiful corner of the country, and finds items of interest – sometimes unusual, sometimes quirky, always entertaining – in every square.
The New Forest has a vibrant coastline, hushed woodlands, gently flowing rivers and an abundance of flora and fauna. Jodi’s 222 highlights cover the area’s long and fascinating history, geology, flora and fauna, culture and more. He never fails to note an idiosyncrasy, unforgiving terrain, or a pub with good food and ale.
Specially commissioned illustrations and grid references for each square help guide you to your chosen destination. Enjoy!
What’s inside?
Square L14
The highlight in this square is 500 metres away but the journey is as important as the destination.
Square H23
Here is a photo from square H23. Calshot Spit, the easternmost place in the New Forest.
Square U8
The northernmost point of the New Forest is near Whiteparish in Wiltshire. Good for public transport!
