Hi there. These are really interesting locations in the New Forest with a lot of historical background from the WW1 and WW2. Huff Duff and The Arrow are interesting locations. I would like to see what the arrow looks like from the sky. 😄 Nice video Rob and new friends here. 👍👍 Have a nice weekend and cheers. Sretana and Zac.
Hi Sretaba and Zac. Tx very much for your kind comments and thanks for watching. Unfortunatley drones are banned in The New Forest so I can't take an aerial view - shame. Tx for the sub, much appreciated. Best wishes, Rob
Thanks very much SFAN. The fireplace is in the middle of the forest with no signage to indicate why it's there. Perhaps I will try to get something dome about that next year! Happy Christmas and best wishes, Rob
Happy Sunday Rob and good to see that you are giving the New Forest the attention it deserves! This might be a wise move as you will draw views and subscribers who focus on the forest and not other things; so I will be interested to see how you develop the channel in the months ahead. You tell good stories and it is always a pleasure to follow your walks in the area and see all the stuff to experience - including your friends at the vineyard:) A bit different from my place to put it in a mild way:) All the best, Ant
Tx Ant. I think that Google's algorithyms place me as a travel channel. 8 of my top 10 videos by number of views are travel videos. So I thought I would try to get a better focus on the new forest vids, as you say. Time will tell. It's a hard slog to get subs isn't it 😄
Subscriber 100 ! Yay !! Great new channel Rob my friend ! Really interesting video bro ! There is an ANZAC cemetery near where I was raised in a village called Harefield. It was because there was a hospital there (still is) and they specialised in lung problems.. of course WW1 gas attacks probably saw a lot of customers to the place. Sadly some did not make it and so were buried in that cemetery ! Really interesting about the Ibsley DF station.. awesome !! Ashley walk is an amazing trail !! ..the arrow is amazing !!
Hi Andy, Tx for being sub number 100! It's interesting to find out how many of these old houses have links to WW1 activity. The arrow is amazing, if difficult to find - we missed it the first two times we went to look for it:) Hope Spring is arriving at long last with you. All the best, Rob
Thanks very much for watching, I'm pleased you found it interesting. Here is a link to another in this series: ruclips.net/video/2LsaPUYtzcw/видео.html Best wishes, Rob
I remember as a child driving down to Christchurch through the new forest and seeing g the remains of an old airfield . My father said the American airforce used it .
Hello David, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment, much appreciated. There were several airfields in the New Forest during the war. You may well have driven past Beaulieu Airfield. We can still see evidence of this today. I've attached a link to another video which includes this airfield. Hope you find it interesting. Best wishes, Rob ruclips.net/video/2LsaPUYtzcw/видео.html
Very interesting, thank you. Have subscribed. It would be helpful if you could advise the best place to park for each, as you did for the Portuguese fireplace. I have looked for the Ashley Arrow before and missed it, but we were rather tired, having walked from Hyde 😁
Thanks very much Sara, I'm pleased you found it interesting. The New Forest National Park website gives the Car park location as: 'OS ref: SU187157 - GPS lat/long: 50.939,-1.737 Ashley Walk car park is situated right next to the Brook-Fordingbridge road, just before entering Godshill. Start the walk by following the main gravel track from near the car park entrance, walking away from the road.' We parked in Abbotts Well car park, which I think is closer to the arrow. This may be one of the car parks that is closed at the moment, to help protect the ground nesting birds. The arrow is very easy to miss, we found it on our third attempt! Good luck and thanks again for your interest in my channel. Best wishes, Rob
@@Barneysma If you have a smartphone, I suggest you download the What3 words app (it's free). I put the what3words location in the video - What3words location: ///defends.senses.satin That will get you there! Let me know how you get on. All the best, Rob

My grandfather was there in ww1 as a private with the first forestry corp.
Hello KH. I hope the video brought back some memories of your grandfather. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Best wishes, Rob
