  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

  • Walking the Cotswold Way with Cotswold Voluntary Wardens
    Walking the Cotswold Way with Cotswold Voluntary Wardens Included in the many guided walks provided by the Cotswold Voluntary Wardens are two along the 102 mile Cotswold Way. Both of these annual walks are in monthly stages commencing in May and running through to February. These walks include transport to and from the start point. The northbound walk from Bath to Chipping Campden is held on the first Wednesday of each month and southbound walk from Chipping Campden to Bath is on the first Saturday of each month. For further details please see: http://www.escapetothecotswolds.org.uk/walking/guided-walks/ Recently I completed the southbound walk with around twenty other walkers that made up the 2016-17 group. Although as a Cotswold Voluntary Warden I was familiar with the southern section of the route I was keen to complete the whole of the Cotswold Way and explore, with our knowledgeable wardens, unfamiliar sections of the Cotswold Way. Courtesy of National Trails Set out below are some of my memories from our journey south from Chipping Campden. Stage 1 – Chipping Campden to Stanton in Gloucestershire. (10 miles) A lovely warm May day, which was ideal for walking and a chance to meet our new companions for the next ten monthly meetings. Leaving the lovely market town of Chipping Campden it is a steady climb to Dovers Hill and then onto Broadway Tower, both locations provide the first of many views we will see across the Severn Vale. Broadway is just one of the picturesque villages that we saw on our journey.

  • The Glosarch/Cleeve Common Trust Self-Guided Archaeological Walk Around Cleeve Common
    The GlosArch/Cleeve Common Trust self-guided archaeological walk around Cleeve Common. Cleeve Common, the highest point on the Cotswold escarpment, looks over the Severn Valley towards the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean to the west, with the Welsh hills beyond. Cleeve Common covers over 500 hectares (1300 acres), the largest area of Common land in Gloucestershire and its boundaries have survived largely intact for 1000 years. Evidence of human activity on Cleeve Common can be traced back some 6000 years, with flint scatters and at least one possible Neolithic long barrow. There are also traces of Bronze Age (2450-650 BCE) occupation, and the large hilltop enclosure on nearby Nottingham Hill was probably constructed in the Late Bronze Age, around 800 BCE. As we shall see, the bulk of the evidence of prehistoric occupation dates to the Iron Age (650BCE-43AD) with sites on the hill and below the escarpment. No Roman remains have so far been found on the Common, but excavations at nearby Haymes in the 1980s by Bernard and Barbara Rawes found evidence of occupation between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. In addition, Cleeve Common shows archaeological evidence of Medieval and post-Medieval industry, farming and recreation. This walk takes you around many of the key sites on Cleeve Common. The walk starts at the Quarry Car Park (*). The car park is reached by the lane off the B4632 from Prestbury to Winchcombe, which is signposted to the golf club. Pass through the gate at the top of the lane and turn left into the car park.

  • Appendix 4: Landscape Assessment Criteria and Broad Area Proformas
    Appendix 4: Landscape Assessment Criteria and Broad Area Proformas The Assessment of Strategic Development Opportunities in Parts of Gloucestershire Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Assessment Criteria Physical character (including topography and scale) This considers the shape and scale of the landform, landscape pattern and landscape elements in relation to the scale of potential development. Smooth, gently undulating or flat landforms are likely to be less sensitive to development than a landscape with a more dramatic landform, distinct landform features or incised valleys with prominent slopes. This criterion considers how developments fit with the scale of the landform (understanding the scale of the development proposed is important when applying this criterion). Larger scale, simple landforms are likely to be less sensitive to larger scale developments than smaller scale, enclosed landforms (where large scale developments could appear out of scale with the underlying landform). Conversely, smaller developments may be able to be screened within enclosed landforms, therefore reducing landscape sensitivity. Existing small-scale features in the landscape in the form of existing buildings or trees will influence the scale of development that can be accommodated in the landscape. Low sensitivity Low-moderate Moderate sensitivity Moderate-high High sensitivity sensitivity sensitivity e.g. the landscape has e.g. the landscape has an e.g. the landscape has a smooth, gently undulating undulating landform and dramatic landform or or featureless landform some distinct landform distinct landform features with uniform large-scale features; it is overlain by that contribute positively landscape pattern and low a mixture of small-scale to landscape character; density of overlying and larger scale field the area has a high density landscape features.

  • Walking the Cotswolds Way 100 Miles in Enchanting England | May 2 – 12, 2020
    Open to alumni UBC and friends WALKING THE COTSWOLDS WAY 100 MILES IN ENCHANTING ENGLAND | MAY 2 – 12, 2020 The Cotswolds is one of the prettiest pockets of rural England with rolling hills, sweeping meadows, bucolic villages, and stately homes. The glorious honey-coloured towns and villages are almost unbelievably pretty. This is picture-postcard England at its most enchanting. And what better way to experience this than on foot at a comfortable pace. This nine-day walk follows the Cotswolds Way, 100 miles of magical walking with long distance views from the Cotswold escarpment, and journeys through picturesque villages and past famous ancient sites. The trip is escorted by Judy Rogers and our English walking guide, but you are free to walk at your own pace in your own time. You will have a pack of easy to read maps and instructions, complete with directions to guide you on the well-marked paths and tracks. And if you need picking up, then, no problem, help is at hand. A support vehicle is with you at all times. The distance of your day’s walk is up to you! On some days we take our support vans between our hotels and beginning and end of the day’s walk. This means we can stay in each of our lovely village inns for two nights and walk the most beautiful sections of the Cotswolds Way. Evenings are an opportunity to discover delicious cuisine in village gastropubs and 17th century cider houses with plenty of local highlights (think Old Spot pork, trout, and asparagus not to mention double and single Gloucester cheese!) Discover the joys of a country walk in one of the prettiest places in the world!

  • Letter Autumn 2019
    Newsletter Autumn 2019 Before you know it the Summer is coming to an end and the Autumn/Winter lecture series is on its way. Neil Cathie, our new autumn/winter programme organiser has put together some great talks to get us through the dark months, with topics ranging from Bath Abbey to a Neolithic long barrow. Full details can be found at the end of the newsletter. Over the summer members have been busy. The summer events were generally well-attended and, from the reports below, were also well-received and very interesting. The osteoarchaeology course, which was hosted by GlosArch and organised and presented by GlosArch member Dr Sophie Beckett, in conjunction with Sedgeford Historical And Archaeological Research Project (SHARP), was fully booked and highly successful. 10 GlosArch members attended, along with 10 members of other local archaeology groups. It is hoped that the course will lead to follow-on projects to which the newly-trained folks can contribute. Look out for the evening of presentations by course participants, which will form the October meeting (28th October, Cheltenham). Fieldwork continued on Cleeve Common, with magnetometry surveys of the hillfort and The Ring. The results are interesting and complement the resistivity performed last year. Further work on the Common is being planned and some other projects are under consideration, so watch out for the emails looking for volunteers to help with surveying in the next couple of months. As I go to press, the Gloucester History Festival is about to start with 233 events between 7th and 23rd September covering history, heritage and archaeology, with a host of high-profile speakers.
