Interesting to learn about the historical significance of the area and the stone in its place. Thank you for sharing the walk and the great views!
Yes it is an interesting (and true) story. However, there is some doubt that the stone is in the right place. Some people think that William Rufus was killed in a different part of the forest. We will never know! Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob
Fantastic walking in the beautiful and idyllic new forest. Wonderful sunlight. Brilliant presentation! Like!

Thanks Princess, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. William Rufus's father, known as William the Conqueror, invaded England and came to power in 1066. That date, to an English school child, is as memorable as 1776 is to you :) All the best, Rob
