Trees Trees, on Harrison's map of Hampshire, are shown by a circle with a trunk. Many of the trees appear to be no more than decoration - but as this symbol probably has a low priority the distribution cannot be taken to be very reliable or significant. The trees sometimes seem to be grouped into woods or forests; in many cases these groupings can be identified with the royal forests of a previous age. Forests on Harrison's map are listed below.

We have not tried to match all the groups of trees to present day woods.
