Take a journey through one of the last former royal hunting forests of Medieval England. It has seen a wide range of use over the last 1000 years, and inspite of its seemingly wild nature it is uttlery a product of human interaction and management, from the neolithic to today! Take a look at barren heathland or go near to where it is thought King William Rufus was killed in 1100 and spot deer, privately owned ponies, cattle and pigs which roam the open heathland and forests. Quite bizzarely and somewhat out of place in southern England! It is possible to take a walk under Coastal Redwoods and to see some Giant Redwoods along the way (all part of the substantial plantation of ornamental trees in the 19th century).

The tour duration of 5 hours is to allow for a variety of different departure times for ships. Also often cruise ships let off passengers on their own shore excursions first thus by 9am, most of the time, we can rely on being able to set off.
