A Respite, a Sanctuary on a Long Journey.

Savernake Forest is significant to me because this was the chosen halfway point on our family's mid 1950's journey from Hereford to Portsmouth for our annual summer holidays.

Here, my stepfather would pull the old Hillman off the road amongst this ancient, historic forest's huge oaks and take out the sandwiches and lemonade we had packed for the trip and wolf them down ( I was always hungry) followed by stretching our legs in the cool of the forest , before resuming our journey.
