  • South Downs Way Challenge…Virtually Week 1
    South Downs Way Challenge…Virtually Week 1 - Winchester to Exton... 12.3 miles. Can you walk that far this week? The South Downs Way begins at the National Trust run Winchester City Mill and having crossed the River and then the M3 you leave the City behind and follow footpaths across fields and lanes to Chilcomb. A steep climb out of the village leads you up to the South Downs Way's first hill, Cheesefoot Head. To get here will take about an hour and a quarter and you will have walked 3.3 miles... Not bad for your first day's exercise! Crossing the A272 carefully, Cheesefoot Head affords great views to the north across the vast natural bowl towards Telegraph Clump. The natural amphitheatre at Cheesefoot Head became a vast encampment of allied troops prior to D-Day. Thousands of American and British troops filled the steeply sloping banks to see Joe Louis, the heavyweight champion of the world - serving in the US army as a physical education teacher - at a US Army boxing tournament. General Eisenhower also used the large amphitheatre to address American troops just prior to D- Day Allan King Way, photo by David Packman The bridlepath leads us North down the temple Valley then east using the Allan King Way towards Gander Down. Then we carefully cross the A272 for the second and final time and head south down farm tracks to Millbarrow Down and the Milbury's pub. An hour and a half of walking and you've now covered another 5 miles Allan King Way, photo by David Martin and can enjoy a virtual pint.

  • Appendix a Landscape Character Type A: Open Downland
    Appendix A Landscape Character Type A: Open Downland The Open Downland type comprises the distinctive upland landscape on the south facing dip slope of the South Downs. The chalk downs extend east from the Arun Valley to the sea at the Seven Sisters, and rise above the Itchen Valley east of Winchester. This is Kipling’s classic ‘blunt, bow-headed, whale-backed Downs' (Sussex, 1902). This type contains some of the highest and most remote parts of the South Downs National Park. Description Key Characteristics ◼ Large scale open elevated landscape of rolling chalk downland, with distinctive dry valleys and ‘mini-scarps’ that relate to faults in the chalk. ◼ Underlain by solid chalk geology with very occasional surface clay capping and windblown sand creating local pockets of variation in the landscape. ◼ Large scale geometric arable fields, resulting from 20th century field amalgamation or 19th century enclosure in Sussex with a greater variety of historic field pattern of 17th to 19th century origin in Hampshire. ◼ Visually permeable post and wire field boundaries. Few hedgerow boundaries and woodland cover limited to small deciduous woodland blocks and distinctive hilltop beech clumps. ◼ Strong seasonal variation in the landscape with ploughed arable fields scattered with flints contrasting with swathes of arable crops at other times of year. ◼ General absence of surface water due to the porosity and permeability of the chalk bedrock, although the ephemeral winterbournes and dew ponds are distinctive features. ◼ Fragments of chalk downland grassland and rare chalk heath, together with associated scrub and woodland habitats are confined to steep slopes where arable cultivation has proved difficult.

These prestigious races are run in March and April each year, and are iconic 'monuments' in the annual cycling season, hosted in the countryside of Belgium and North Eastern France. School Photo—SMILE! Agricultural cobbled roads, which are a product of the hard labour sentences passed down by the penal system many years ago, weave their way up the Bergs and across the fields of Flanders, and are still used today by local residents for getting from A to B. Some are poorly maintained though, hence only tractors dare use them …. Oh, and cyclists too! Races such as the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix have been organised in the region since 1896, utilising these 'roads' to create a challenging course in an effort to promote a Belgium sports newspaper, in the case of the Tour of Flanders, and in a bid to promote the newly built Velodrome at Roubaix.

  • Traces of the Language of the Pre-Historic and Other Ancient Races of Hampshire Contained in the Place Names of the County
    233 TRACES OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE PRE-HISTORIC AND OTHER ANCIENT RACES OF HAMPSHIRE CONTAINED IN THE PLACE NAMES OF THE COUNTY. BY'T. W. SHORE, F.G.S.' Their memory liveth on your hills, It liveth on your shore, Your everlasting rivers speak Their dialects of yore. There is not an ancient race, among the many who have lived in Hampshire, whether as ordinary settlers, or as rulers, who have not left some remains of their language in the place names of the county. This county, in common with other parts of the South of England, was during successive periods occupied by people of the Iberian-and Celtic races,-which latter certainly came by two distinct immigrations, or branches of the same race, but widely separated in point of time. The Iberians were the people of the later Stone Age. The Goidelsor Gaels were the Celts of the early immigration, and they brought in a knowledge of the making and the use of bronze. The Belgae were the Celts of the later immigration and with them probably came, from what is now known as- Belgium, a knowledge of the manufacture and uses of iron. These ancient races have left us, not only some of their implements and articles of domestic use, but also their mounds and other burial sites in which the remains of their skeletons, or the remains of their cremated bodies are found. 234 They have also left us traces of their language, for their names survive in those of some of our streams, springs, hills, and other places.

  • Winchester to West Meon Or Hinton Ampner Walk - SWC
    02/05/2020 South Downs Way 1 : Winchester to West Meon or Hinton Ampner walk - SWC Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South Downs Way 1 : Winchester to West Meon or Hinton Ampner walk Historic Winchester and the South Downs Way. Shorter (via Hinton Ampner NT) and longer (Beacon Hilsl, and a railway path) options. Return by bus. Length To West Meon (via the dismantled railway line) 26.1 km (16.2 miles) with 375 meters (1,200 ft) of ascent Shorter Options A) To Hinton Ampner (NT) : 20.9 km (13.0 miles) B) To West Meon (via shortcut) : 23.7 km (14.8 miles) C) To Exton : 21.2 km (13.2 miles) Maps OS Explorer OL32 (was 132) Winchester Toughness 7/10 Features This walk follows the first section of the South Downs Way (SDW) from its start in the historic Cathedral City of Winchester. It heads east, through high rolling farmland with distant though extensive views - as far out as to the Isle of Wight - to a remote rustic country pub. It then ascends the start of the South Downs ridge before a very scenic descent from Beacon Hill to Exton, a small village in the Meon Valley. From there it leaves the SDW, following a disused railway path to West Meon, which has an infrequent bus service back to the start. Along the way, you follow the SDW past Telegraph Hill (162m), Cheesefoot Head (176m, a bowl/natural amphitheatre), Temple Valley, Gander Down, The Milbury's (a remote pub near Millbarrow Down for lunch), Beacon Hill (201m), and the Meon Valley disused railway line path.
