You might have imagined that green spaces would provide the support that many people craved in this exceptional situation – unfortunately, however, even these have to some extent only been accessible by people who live locally. Nevertheless I hope that all those living in close proximity to the Chilterns have been able to take advantage of our remarkable landscape. The situation does provide a unique opportunity for many families who may never have set foot in this terrain to experience what it has to offer, and it may lead to them developing a life-long passion for the natural environment. Time doesn’t stand still, so plans for the future are still progressing and we look Walkers near Ayot St Lawrence (Photo: Colin Drake) forward to holding a range of events later in the year, as well as the AGM in the autumn.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, woodland, nature reserves, hills, views In Brief This truly unforgettable walk shows you all that is best in the Chiltern Hills. You go through great beechwoods, along valleys and over the Bledlow Ridge with terrific views. The walk begins and ends in a snug Chiltern village which holds its own surprises. The village has one of the iconic pubs of the Chilterns (to enquire at the Lions of Bledlow , ring 01844-343345). Along the way, you can stop at the Boot in the Ridge (ring 01494-481499). You also pass one of the great foodie pubs (see text), requiring long advance booking. This walk is a tribute to Raymond Hugh’s Adventurous Walks books, since it follows the same route as one of his walks. These books are out of print but still possibly available by mail order and the other nine walks are also a pleasure to do. There are only a few nettles on this walk and sensible shoes should be adequate in dry weather.

  • Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Key associated species Chalk Carpet Moth Chalkhill Blue Chiltern Gentian Duke of Burgundy Early Gentian Glow Worm Green Hairstreak Hornet Robber Fly Horseshoe Vetch Juniper Linnet Meadow Clary Pasque Flower Roman Snail Silver-spotted Skipper Snail Abida secale Stone Curlew Striped Lychnis Moth Yellow Meadow Ant This habitat includes all semi-improved grassland and unimproved grassland occurring on shallow lime-rich soils normally underlain by chalk or limestone rocks. Calcareous grassland is associated with distinct topographic features such as escarpments or dry valley slopes and ancient earth works. Lowland calcareous grassland supports a very rich flora with many nationally rare and scarce species together with a diverse invertebrate fauna such as Chalkhill Blue and Duke of Burgundy butterflies. Scrub, such as Juniper and Box, is associated with calcareous grassland and contributes to local biodiversity. 1 Current status in the UK Biological status 1.1 Calcareous grassland is a rich grassland type in terms of the diversity of plant and invertebrate species supported. Many species are confined to calcareous grassland in the UK, including those that are on the northern edge of their European range. 1.2 Lowland calcareous grasslands are defined by the UK Biodiversity Group as the first nine communities in the National Vegetation Classification CG grouping. These communities are largely restricted to the warmer and drier climate of southern and eastern areas of the UK. 1.3 The amount of calcareous grassland has undergone a significant decline over the last 50 years. Although there are no detailed figures available for the UK as a whole, local statistics demonstrate the overall decline eg 50% lost in Dorset between the mid-1950s and the early 1990s, 25% lost in Sussex between 1966 and 1980.

Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.
