EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled within the heart of the New Forest, this enchanting photograph captures the beauty and history of the Double Tree (Oak and Beech) near the Rufus Stone. The New Forest, located in Hampshire, England, is known for its ancient woodlands, heathlands, and rich history. This particular scene showcases two magnificent trees, an oak and a beech, growing intertwined, creating a natural embrace that has stood the test of time. The Double Tree, a popular local landmark, is believed to be over 500 years old. According to legend, this tree was the site where Rufus, the eldest son of King William II, was tragically killed in 1100 AD. The Rufus Stone, a large boulder nearby, bears a mark from the arrow that ended his life. The trees have since grown around the stone, creating a hauntingly beautiful scene that draws visitors from all over. The oak and beech trees not only add to the natural allure of the New Forest but also hold historical significance. Their gnarled branches and intertwined trunks tell a story of the forest's past and the events that have shaped it. The forest itself is steeped in history, having been a royal hunting ground for centuries, and is home to many ancient monuments and sites. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and history of the New Forest and the Double Tree (Oak and Beech) near the Rufus Stone. It invites us to pause and reflect on the natural world and the stories it holds, reminding us of the importance of preserving these precious landscapes for future generations to enjoy.
