The giant oaks are widely spaced, allowing them to form large crowns. Were they planted as "pasture oaks"? To provide acorns for the cattle that were driven into the forest for grazing?

The trig point t the summit of White Moor stands at 49 m. It's not a very pronounced summit, but the trig helps with orientation when you run here. The trails in all directions are great fun, fairly flat and fast underfoot.

Fabulous views of the Avon Valley including the meandering River Avon which reaches the English Channel at Christchurch Harbour and flows north through the city of Salisbury. This spot, just off a quiet road makes an excellent picnic stop with its bench and stunning view.
