Honey & Elderflower Sparkling Mead

Mead is thought to be an aphrodisiac, a medicinal potion, and a fertility aid. Because it is made entirely by honey and water, mead legend takes on a mystique from its naturally sensual ingredients. Mead is also credited to being the inspiration for the term “honeymoon”.  In early times, newlyweds were given a supply of mead to last the full cycle of the moon. They were instructed to partake in the experience daily to enhance their libidos and improve their chances of creating a family. Thus, the beverage has been associated with weddings since the institution of marriage was created.

No visit to the Forest is complete without a visit to Pages – https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/

There can be few other places in England where the ancient landscape has remained so unchanged. 1079 when William The Conqueror named the area his ‘new hunting forest’, little could he imagine that nearly 1,000 years later his ‘Nova Foresta’ would still retain its mystery and romance.

The New Forest is a great place to visit for walking, dog walking, cycling and horse riding for everyone. When you’re out in the forest and are enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the rich wildlife, please help us to care for this very special place.
