Here, his Son, King William II was killed by a stray arrow, but was it an accident or....? The New Forest is home to over 3000 wild ponies that roam alongside pigs, sheep, cattle and even donkeys.

On arriving in Salisbury, you will travel around this great medieval city and hear about ghosts, card cheats and what happens if you upset the King!
