The Best Attractions In Minstead

1. Rufus Stone Minstead
William II , the third son of William the Conqueror, was King of England from 1087 until 1100, with powers over Normandy, and influence in Scotland. He was less successful in extending control into Wales. William is commonly known as William Rufus , perhaps because of his ruddy appearance or, more likely, due to having red hair as a child that grew out in later life.William was a figure of complex temperament, capable of both bellicosity and flamboyance. He did not marry, nor did he produce any offspring, legitimate or otherwise, which has led to speculations of possible homosexuality by historians.

New Forest Walking: Brockenhurst Circular Walk via Setley Pond 13 October 2012

A 6.5 mile circular walk from Brockenhurst station via Setley Pond. The first part of the walk was through woods and fields, the latter part of the walk went across typical New Forest heathland. Much of the ground was very wet from the recent heavy rainfall. the walk took place in sunny weather on Saturday 13 October 2012.

Furzey Gardens 2012

An unusual, peaceful garden and although it was a very windy day we enjoyed the walk around. We were told Typhoon Tower was named because it overlooked a meadow where a Typhoon plane crashed in World War Two. The gardens provide opportunities for young people with learning disabilities and we appreciated all the work they put in.

Tuckton, Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Walk.
