Special exhibition: Shedding new light on the New Forest's past
Saturday 19 September 2015 to Sunday 24 January 2016
10am - 4.30pm daily
An interactive exhibition revealing new archaeological sites that have been discovered as part of the New Forest Higher Level Stewardship scheme. This Verderers-led management scheme uses high-tech remote sensing to look beneath the tree canopy and discover new sites and monuments previously not visible through traditional survey techniques. All of this has helped to build up a picture of the New Forest through time: from pre-historic burial grounds to the Forest's role during the Second World War.
