The Forest was planted in the 1930s and 1940s by the Forestry Commission and is mostly made up of Beech trees which do well in chalky soil. When we visited in early December, many of the trees were still covered in golden leaves. This trail takes walkers to the edge of the forest and past a view of Littlington White Horse, a chalk horse carved into an opposite hillside in the 1920s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fairytales, the forest is often a place of mystery and transformation, a place without firm and familiar boundaries. Before our walk, I shared a page on the archetype of the forest from the Taschen Book of Symbols.
