View of the Mineral Extraction Site, New Forest National Park
Highlight • Viewpoint
The battle to prevent further extraction lasted from 1964 to 1968, but was eventually lost and up to six meters' depth of gravel was stripped from most of the west of the Common.
Looking south-east, you will get an impression of the extent of the mineral extraction carried out in the 1960s.
