No idea, Einstein, but wherever it was that would be around 500 - 700
acres 
of woodland. Sounds vast until the 'scientist' in you cuts in and realises

that the New Forest alone covers roughly 76,000 acres of woodland and 
plantations. So much for "the Spanish Armada" deforesting a country the
size 
of Spain.
