WOOLMER FOREST, a Crown forest chiefly in Hants but partly in Sussex; extending from N to S, between Selborne and Bramshott; and measuring about 7 miles by 2½. It has belonged to the Crown from a period before the Norman conquest; is partly enclosed for navy timber; shows some diversities of hilland dale; and figures much in White's "Natural History of Selborne."
