In which I learn some things about rural and urban foxes

Joan Begbie published her book of New Forest walks, Walking in the New Forest, in 1934, almost 100 years ago. Joan writes entertainingly and with a shining love for the Forest as she describes each of her many walks. In this blog, I’m following in her footsteps. I was curious to discover how things have changed in the New Forest since she was writing, and how much is the same. I follow her routes using a modern OS map (OS Explorer 22), comparing it with an OS map dating from the 1930s. Each post describes a different walk (or part of a walk). Why not come with me to explore!

The New Forest National Park is in the south of England, lying mainly in the county of Hampshire, and in Wiltshire to the north.
