The New Forest with Dan Snow
Listen now
Description
Join Adam and TV historian Dan Snow in the New Forest, one of Dan’s favourite woods and a wonderful place for history. But while history is a huge part of his life, it’s not his only passion. He’s also a self-confessed tree hugger. His love for the New Forest is clear on our walk. While growing up in London, his family regularly visited the area and he now lives nearby, describing it as a special and nurturing landscape. Of course, Dan sees many things with a historian’s eyes, but trees are a tonic too. Like many of us – especially in 2020 - he has found woods important for wellness, a place of extraordinary healing.
