THE RUFUS STONE MEMORIAL TO WILLIAM II. NEW FOREST FPThe Rufus Stone Car park is situated within ancient wood pasture on the eastern edge of the Forest.

A short stroll takes you to the famous memorial to King William II.

Many stories abound but it is said that an arrow shot at a stag by one Walter Tyrrell glanced off a tree and killed the King.
