The forest isn't as uniform as you might imagine, homogeneous blocks of
woodland and heath it isn't; although many areas of heath or woodland
may share a very similar floral make up, each has it's own distinct
aspects and attributes. That's why it's so easy to end up with countless
'favourite' spots. Amberwood and Island Thorns are favourites of mine,
they're quite unlike any other woods in the forest; overwhelmingly
deciduous, mostly stands of Beech and Oak of varying degrees of spread;
walking
their myriad tracks and paths is magical, none more so than when
following the Latchmore Brooks' bank-side path, and especially as it
passes through the stands of Amberwood. The stands here abouts have a
certain air to them, a natural magic that's hard to describe.
