New Forest National Park Boundary Markers

A photographic record of the wooden markers that trace the edge of the National Park. Made mostly from Douglas Fir in the shape of a stylised oak tree, they stand at the road and footpath entry points all around the perimeter.

About the markers

Markers tracing the Park boundary were designed and created by the New Forest National Park Authority using wood from sustainable sources. Most are Douglas Fir, known for its durability; four are polycarbonate, and a number of zinc discs mark footpath entrances. The larger markers are ‘ancient oak’ trees and the smaller ones ‘young oak’ trees.

Seeking them out turned out to be a great way to explore corners of the New Forest we never knew existed — and we still have a few to find.


Just the wind through the reeds and a shroud blowing against a mast at Keyhaven.

Now that the A31 is open again, I took a drive west to Picket Post and caught just a glimpse of the vast fire damage to the area - #newforest #forestfire #nationalpark - @hantsiowfireservice did an incredible job
Even the most innocuous puddle in a pub car park can deliver a remarkable reflected sunset… #sunset #reflection #newforest @royaloak_downton
