New Forest National Park Web Cam

Wendy September 14th, 2009

If you’ve never been to the New Forest National Park before, or would just like to catch up on its most famous inhabitants – the New Forest Ponies – then you might be interested in the live Web Cam on which they can be clearly seen. The link to the web cam can be found at http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/new-forest-national-park.html.

The one drawback is that often the ponies and donkeys are in the distance so might appear very small, but i loved watching this and will probably spend more time in the future gazing at the wildlife, especially if i cant get outside for any reason! Hope you enjoy it.
