- ^ The Forestry Commission article states that the woodlands comprising the forest are "within a 1km radius of the village of Winterborne Stickland", but this is clearly wrong as there are no significant woods within that circle and some of the woods mentioned are up to 6 km away. More likely it means within a 10km radius.
