Looking west from the verge of the B3054 road, towards the trees of Hilltop Wood. The Beaulieu Estate, although geographically within the New Forest, is not managed by the Forestry Commission. The public access granted to the open Forest and Inclosures does not apply to the woods like this on private land, except where there are public rights of way. The character of the private woodland is similar to that of the adjacent Forest, and the wild deer (who can jump the fences) probably live in peace without being disturbed by walkers' dogs.
