Largest protected forest (ancient woodland) in England?
I live in England and I like forests. Where do I find the largest protected forest in England?
By protected I mean: no commercial logging (management logging is OK considering no forests without it exist in England), mining, or agriculture. I can tolerate that hunting and fishing are still permitted.
I understand the English define ancient woodland as being continuous since before 1600, but for the sake of this question, I do not necessarily insist on it being ancient.

According to Wikipedia, the largest ancient woodland is the "Windsor Great Park" (1777 Ha) :) However, this one doesn't really fit into your description, does it? The next biggest woodland is King's and Baker's Wood (212 Ha).
