Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I'm sure it has, but POJames mentions reading autobiographical books about the Forest. Here is an excellent list of just some of the books produced over the years about the Forest.

Many of them particularly the autobiographies by the likes of Foley, Latham, Phelps and Potter (my favourite) can often be bought for little expense in the usual secondhand sources, or borrowed from librairies - even here in Middlesex I'm pleased to say.

Coleford's own Forest Bookshop website is also very informative.

Here is another list of suggested reading c/o our Local History Society.

This website also contains some excellent e-books to read online.

Hope this helps, I hope others can add to it.
