Pool on an Old Airfield A rainwater pool beside one of the old roads across Beaulieu Heath which are still here from RAF Beaulieu, a WW2 airfield which closed in 1959.
I quite like this scene, and it marks 20,000 pictures from me on Geograph.

Horses on an old airfield The road is a remnant from RAF Beaulieu, a WW2 airfield which closed in 1959. Still in reasonable condition it&#039;s now part of the extensive network of cycle routes in the New Forest.

Enjoying the Sunshine Another pony picture, standard fare for the New Forest, but this horse definitely seemed to be basking.
It was a very sunny day for mid January and a lot of the ponies looked to be just standing around soaking up the rays.

Tracks at Hawkhill Two tracks into Hawkhill Inclosure. The right hand one goes to a parking area, the left hand one is a cycleway into the heart of the forest.

Barrier on an Old Road Still in a fairly reasonable condition beyond here, a road built as part of RAF Beaulieu, an old WW2 airfield, is still open as a cycleway beyond the gate.
