New Forest

"The black, vampire-infested forest of central Romania is not so bleak and forbidding a place than the twisted heart of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It was here, several winters ago that I chanced upon two of the most dreadful creatures known to wizards and witches."

- Gilderoy Lockhart, Marauding with Monsters

New Forest is a forest in south-west Hampshire and extending into south-east Wiltshire. It is home to a Gythrash colony.

In Marauding with Monsters, Gilderoy Lockhart wrote about his adventures in the heart of the New Forest in search of the infamous Wild Ponies, ending up finding (and defeating) a Gytrash colony instead. The veracity of these events is doubtful, given Lockhart's theft of other people's achievements.
