  • Barton-Le-Clay
    Barton le Clay Central Bedfordshire Stage 3 Green Belt Study December 2017 Site: ALP082 - Top Orchard Site size (ha): 0.45 Site: ALP082 - Top Orchard Site size (ha): 0.45 Site description A narrow strip of rough scrub and trees located along the southern edge of the inset settlement of Barton-le-Clay. Residential properties and back gardens define the northern boundary and partly to the south whilst Luton Road extends along the eastern extent with further residential properties located adjacent. Sports pitches and ancillary buildings make up the southern and western boundaries. Relationship between site, settlement and countryside The existing inset settlement of Barton-le-Clay borders the site on the eastern and northern edges, and to the south are sports pitches. Together these impart an urbanising influence over the parcel, so whilst the site’s tree cover provides visual separation between houses on Sharpenhoe Road and the sports ground it doesn’t represent a distinction between settlement and countryside. Parcels This site is assessed as one parcel. Site: ALP082 - Top Orchard Site size (ha): 0.45 Parcel: ALP082 Parcel area (ha): 0.45 Looking west from Bedford Road.

  • Cooper's Hill, Ampthill
    Cooper’s Hill, AmptHill Parking: Woburn Road, Ampthill, Bedford MK45 2GQ, or Station Road, Ampthill, Bedford MK45 2QR. You can park in laybys on Woburn Road, or else in one of Ampthill Great Park’s car parks. The park is directly opposite Cooper’s Hill on the oppo- site side of the road. Alternatively, you can park for free in Station Road on the other side of Cooper’s Hill, which is a residential area (so less acceptable to locals). However, it does seem that as you progress along Station Road to where the entrance to Cooper’s Hill is there are less parked cars there anyway. So it’s probably not a problem. Parking available in laybys. The entrance to Cooper’s Hill is adjacent to the rugby club, shown above. Walk: Cooper’s Hill is a part of the Bedfordshire Greensand Ridge and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It can be found directly across the Woburn Road from Ampthill Great Park; both places are worthy of strolling in. The site was formerly known as Ampthill Warren. As with Sharpenhoe Clappers and Rowney Warren, rabbits were once introduced there to breed with a view to supplying meat and pelts. This was most likely done by the Normans. Walking around Coopers Hill does not take too long, but it depends on how much up-and-over the hills you build into your walk. We stretched it out to 2.3 Km. It seems just about the right length for walking the dog, judging by the number of quadrupeds we saw there.
