Orlestone is three hundred and eighty eight hectares in size. It is predominantly mixed native broadleaves and a small percentage of conifer.
The area is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), managed principally for birds and butterflies.
There is a medium sized car park and picnic area, with a height barrier at the main entrance. . All roads are unsurfaced. As it is very low lying, it has a tendency to flood in winter.
This huge mushroom, some kind of Bolete I believe, was growing beneath a shrub. The cap is a foot across, I know this because I measured it with my foot!

No snowy conditions nearby recently but we did have some nice frosts and this was a particulalrly lovely morning with some nice light for a change. I've photographed this area of the New Forest over quite a few years now - a rather scruffy, non-descript area but for some reason I keep being drawn back and have managed some of my favourite images from this small area of heath and coniferous plantation. There has been a lot if thinning and clearance over the last year or so which has "cleaned up" this heathland - for the better I think - seemingly to return it to natural heathland. I'd stood here for about an hour (thanks to neoprene wellies, feet still toasty!) and had intended a long shot as the light hit the distant trees - but it was the wider view that appealed and although there was early colour in the sky before sun-up, it was the last shot I took with light just starting to hit the foreground, that I liked best in the end.
I came across this pile of leaves strewn across some fallen branches in the woods. Kicking myself now for not doing a bit of adjusting...as that fern stem is annoying me immensely! Oh well....let it go.... ;-)
Although the stream was rushing, it was a peaceful moment in Cliff Gilker Park. Its flow along with the trees, helped deliver a tunnelling effect. Together, that in turn directed my gaze toward the well lit tree in the center.
Calm and quiet above, with rolling thunder below, it was a moment of contrasting perspectives. Just another day in the forest I thought, and I am so very lucky to have it.
