The New Forest is a unique and captivating landscape of open heath and ancient woodland.  The forest familiar to us today was 'created' by William the Conqueror in 1079 as a royal hunting ground.  However, the area's rich human history stretches back to at least the Bronze Age, with several well documented Bronze Age burial mounds.  The New Forest Northern Commons comprise of five commons cared for by the National Trust "Bramshaw Commons" is an encompassing term for various commons, including nearby Half Moon common, just east of the old Foxbury Plantation, west of Blackhill Road.
