The Saxons called it Ytene, the wild wasteland. William the Conqueror, who made it a royal hunting ground, christened it the New Forest. Nearly 1,000 years later and shaped by generations of hunters, farmers and foresters, this ancient woodland thrives. Cameraman Manuel Hinge spent two years filming the forest, its ponies and fallow deer, and some of Britain's more elusive species, such as firecrests, woodlarks and tadpole shrimps. Narrated by John Nettles.
