More about this scene
Pilley is a short stroll from Boldre on an ancient route to the vast expanse of Beaulieu Heath. Along this route would have passed kings of England on their way to hunt, medieval travellers on pilgrimages to Beaulieu Abbey, and generations of drovers with their herds of livestock on the way to long-established grazing grounds.
