September in the UK often brings warm and sunny late summer days. We have been fortunate to experience some of those recently and both Eddie and I thought we really must take advantage of them. So the other day we decided to visit Hatchet Pond and take time to enjoy nature ...
Hatchet Pond is the largest area of fresh water in the New Forest, and is located just outside the quaint village of Beaulieu. It is very beautiful and can be enjoyed walking on one of two easy trails, either the longer or shorter route.
This body of fresh water is home to some of the rarest wetland plants and freshwater animals long since lost from many other parts of the UK. As one of the most wildlife rich water bodies remaining in lowland England, it has the highest possible conservation status as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area for Conservation.
Of course after our lovely visit and walk we returned to enjoy a most welcome and delicious plate of ...
Parma Ham, Walnut and Roquefort Salad
