  • Historic Environment Action Plan South-West Wight Coastal Zone
    Island Heritage Service Historic Environment Action Plan South-West Wight Coastal Zone Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for South-West Wight Coastal Zone INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. Essential characteristics of the South-West Wight Coastal Zone include the long coastline and cliffs containing fossils and archaeological material, the pattern of historic lanes, tracks and boundaries, field patterns showing evidence of open-field enclosure, valley-floor land, historic villages, hamlets and dispersed farmsteads, and vernacular architecture. The Military Road provides a scenic and historically significant route along the coast. The settlements of Mottistone, Hulverstone, Brighstone and Shorwell straddle the boundary between this Area and the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge. Historically these settlements exploited both Areas. For the sake of convenience these settlements are described in the HEAP Area document for the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge even where they fall partially within this Area. However, they are also referred to in this HEAP document where appropriate. This document considers the most significant features of the historic landscape, the most important forces for change, and the key management issues. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Occupies strip of land between West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge and coast. • Coastline within this Area stretches from Compton to Shepherd’s Chine and comprises soft, eroding cliffs with areas of landslip.

One clause seemed directly written to me - the President was “not ex- pected to be expert in all the fields covered by the various sections." As most of you will know, unlike past Presidents who have been specialists, I am very much an ordinary member with a general interest in natural history and archaeology, but my membership over many years has widened my knowledge and kept up a spirit of inquiry. With this in mind last May I joined the general meeting exploring the ground around the glass- houses of Wight Salads, somewhere completely new to me. It proved to be two hours of continuous in- terest as we wandered by the new lakes created from the water used in the hydroponic growing system. With experts in identifying grasses, mosses, flowers, birds all to hand, and all more than willing to point out, identify and explain when I asked any question. It was a real illustration of teaching and learning in the best way.

  • Geotourism and Geoconservation on the Isle of Wight, UK: Balancing Science with Commerce
    Carpenter: Rocky start of Dinosaur National Monument… Geoconservation Research Original Article Geotourism and Geoconservation on the Isle of Wight, UK: Balancing Science with Commerce Martin I. Simpson Lansdowne, Military Rd, Chale, Isle of Wight, PO38 2HH, UK. Abstract The Isle of Wight has a rich and varied geological heritage which attracts scientists, tourists and fossil collectors, both private and commercial. Each party has a role to play in geoconservation and geotourism, but a policy on the long term curation of scientifically important specimens is essential to prevent future conflicts. A new code of conduct is recommended, based on the one adopted on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset. I have spent over 40 years living on the Island and working in the tourist industry running geology field-trips for both academics and tourists, and managing one of the longest running geological gift shops. I see the geological heritage and fossil sites as valuable geotourism assets, and envisage no problems with respect to the scientifically important material provided that a clear collecting policy is adopted, and the local museum generates funding to ensure that significant finds remain on the Island. A positive attitude is recommended in view of past experiences. Corresponding Author: Martin I. Simpson Lansdowne, Military Rd, Chale, Isle of Wight, PO38 2HH, UK. Email: [email protected] Keywords: Palaeontology, Geology, Isle of Wight, Tourism. Introduction with few formations absent, probably one of the best successions of this type in Europe (Fig 1c).Once a larger landmass joined to the mainland The Isle of Wight is a small, vaguely lozenge-shaped island situated as recently as 9000 years ago, what remains as 'Wight Island' or 'Vecta just off the central south coast of England, about 113 km south west of Insula' is eroding away at a rate of one metre per year in places (Munt London (Fig 1a, 1b), renowned for its balmy climate and golden, sandy 2016), but this erosion has produced spectacular scenery and iconic beaches.

We were attending the launch of HEAP, an unfortunate acronym, which still makes me think of garden rubbish. However, when the letters are opened up we find The Isle of Wight Historic Environ- ment Action Plan, a title which encompasses the historic landscape of the Island, the environment in which we live today and the future which we are bound to protect. It extends the work already being un- dertaken by the Island Biodiversity Action Plan, a little known but invaluable structure, which has al- ready been at work for ten years. This body brings together the diverse groups, national and local, whose concern is with the habitats and species which are part of our living landscape. The HEAP will do much the same at a local level for the landscape of the Island, the villages, towns, standing monuments which take us from the Stone Age to the present day and, most importantly, the agricultural landscape which is particularly vulnerable to intrusion and sometimes alarming change.

  • The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape
    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.
