New Forest, UK

Design & Nature 2016 will be held in the New Forest, which borders the south coast of England and is home to the Wessex Institute. The New Forest is situated in central southern England, 120km from London. Spreading over nearly 400 square kilometres, this National Park is home to picturesque villages, unspoiled scenery, abundant wildlife and many attractions for visitors. The Forest is unarguably recognised as one of the most unique wilderness areas in Western Europe, where many landscapes have remained virtually unchanged for many centuries.
