The unofficial capital of
the New Forest, Lyndhurst is arguably the
perfect base from which to conduct further
explorations of the region. Home of the
Forest’s main visitor centre, it also plays
host to the The Verderers Court, which
administers the Forest, meeting six times a
year at the 17th century Queen’s House. In the
churchyard lies Alice Hargreaves, inspiration
for Lewis Caroll’s Alice (in Wonderland),
while the 19th century Church of St Michael
and All Angels is adorned with Pre-Raphaelite
art, including murals and stained glass by
Morris, Burne-Jones and Lord Leighton. |
