Across the mist filled valley, through which Dockens Water wends, the coniferous clump of Whitefield Plantation stands proud up on Ibsley Common. Planted as an ornamental landscape feature by some toff in 19th century, Whitefield Plantation is a small 20m by 160m banked enclosure comprising mainly of Scots Pine and Maritime Pine, along with some re-naturalizing Silver Birch. Small as it is, it's still by far the largest clump of trees on Ibsley Common.
