Great Huntley Bank, a route we used to take far more regularly than we
do today, after the New Forest National Park Authority closed off the
closest access which was a lay-by on the A35. I can maybe see the
argument for doing it, though can't help but feel that the erasure of
roadside parking spots, warning notices in other traditional spots and
the apparent permanent closure of a number of car parks is shepherding
us towards a pay to play future. I'm sure I recall something along those
lines being mooted some years back. Anyway. Great Huntley Bank and the
length of Highland Water that runs through it are beautiful. Deciduous
woodland filled with veteran and ancient trees casting wonderful dappled
shade over a verdant floor teeming with life and a favoured haunt of
deer, especially during the rut.
