The New Forest is full of splendor
With villages, woodland and more.
Where shops abound and ponies roam free
And the towns fill with tourists galore.

Golden Gorse covers every heath
Bringing a beautiful view.
The sun beams down to touch each bush
With a most brilliand hue.

The winding roads go through villages and woods
Displaying marvels to please any eye.
Each place is visited with wonder and joy
And regret when it's time to say goodbye.

The New Forest is not only about woodland
For it has a character all of its own.
It's name is known throughout the country
For the uniqueness it has always shown.
