BOXFORD CIRCULAR Distance = 22 km (14 miles) Difficulty = Intermediate Category = On-Road Start Point = Market Place, Newbury Although not the longest, this scenic ride has its fair share of hills. Leaving Newbury to the west, join the canal at Guyer’s Lock and head along the towpath as far as Marsh Benham. After crossing the A4, climb out of the Kennet Valley, before dropping down to Hoe Benham then back up to the B4000. The route then descends into Boxford. After passing through the village, it takes in a couple of short sharp climbs on the way to Winterbourne before heading back to Newbury via Bagnor. If you are in need of refreshments then you are spoiled for choice, with the Red House at Marsh Benham, the Bell at Boxford, the Winterbourne Arms or the Blackbird at Bagnor. www.westberkshirespokes.org Map courtesy of www.sketchmap.co.uk Total Link Directions km km 0.1 0.1 @ traffic signals into Cheap Street 0.3 0.2 @ mini-rbt to continue along Market Street 0.4 0.1 @ traffic signals into Bartholomew Street 0.5 0.1 @ mini-rbt into Craven Road 1.5 1.0 @ barrier into cycle track 1.7 0.2 @ barrier into cycle track 1.8 0.1 @ junction into Bonemill Lane (unmade road) 2.0 0.2 @ gate continuing along Bonemill Lane (unmade road) 2.2 0.2 @ T-junction to join towpath 2.3 0.1 @ bridge 2.4 0.1 @ gate to join towpath 5.7 3.3 @ bridge into Station Road 6.2 0.5 @ X-roads towards Wickham Heath 7.4 1.2 @ X-roads into Nalder Hill Road towards Wickham Heath 8.9 1.5 @ T-junction towards Hoe Benham 9.9 1.0 @ staggered X-roads towards Boxford 10.5 0.6 @ X-roads towards Boxford 12.1 1.6 @ staggered X-roads towards Winterbourne 12.9 0.8 @ junction into Winterbourne Road 15.7 2.8 @ T-junction towards Bagnor 19.5 3.8 @ T-junction into Lambourn Road towards Newbury 20.5 1.0 @ junction into Brummell Road 21.0 0.5 @ staggered X-roads into Old Bath Road 21.3 0.3 @ junction into Speen Lane 21.3 0.0 @ into cycle track alongside Goldwell Park 21.6 0.3 @ barrier into Northcroft Lane 22.2 0.6 @ T-junction into Northbrook Street 22.3 0.1 @ traffic signals into Mansion House Street .

Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.
