![Mill Lawn Brook. In the New Forest a 'lawn' is any open area of short grass, just like your lawn at home. In this case the grass is kept that way by the ponies and cattle that are allowed to graze throughout the area. This is Mill Lawn, near Burley. The brook attracts lots of tourists in the summer and the lawn is often crowded. Come early though, and you have the place to yourself.
