  • Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report February 2021
    Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report February 2021 Introduction The parish of Cumnor sits on a Corallian Limestone Ridge in the north of the Vale of the White Horse District Council (VoWHDC) administrative area. With an elevation range across the parish of more than 100m there are many Important Views within the parish, in addition to commanding views into and from the parish. The VoWHDC’s Landscape Character Assessment1, Section 3.6, states: ‘To the north of the central Vale there is a broad east-west ridge of Corallian Limestone, often referred to as the ‘Mid Vale Ridge’. The northern edge of the ridge is marked by prominent, relatively steep, slopes. To the south, the ridge descends more gently, until it merges with the low-lying Vale centred on the River Ock. To the east, the ridge incorporates Boars Hill and Cumnor Hill to the west of Oxford’. It goes on to say in para 3.7: ‘the ridge forms a distinctive, often wooded, horizon in views north from the central Vale. The wooded backdrop is provided by the small blocks of woodland which pepper the ridge, as well as some extensive tracts of ancient woodland, particularly in the east of the District…including Wytham Great Wood. Among the key positive landscape features of the Wooded Corallian Landscape Ridge are the: ‘distant views out from the ridge, from elevated locations and the edges of woodland, including history views of the ‘dreaming spires’ to the east.” It goes on to say that this ridge “provides a rural wooded backdrop and treed skyline in views from the low-lying Vale to the south, in views from the River Thames, and views west from Oxford.’ The Landscape Strategy ‘for the Corallian Limestone Ridge with Woodland’ is to: ‘conserve the woodlands, hedges and riparian vegetation which give the ridge its treed character, protect remaining semi-natural habitats and resist further urbanising sprawl of low-density development”.

  • Some Old Roads of North Berkshire
    Some Old Roads of North Berkshire- By the late GABRIELLE LAMBRICK HE area of Berkshire of which the old highways are discussed in the T following pages is that bounded on the north-west, north and east by the gr~at loop of the Thames from north of Faringdon, through Oxford, to Abing­ don, and on the south by the River Ock, with an extension from the middle valley of the Ock (in the Vale of White Horse; to Wantage, at the foot of the Berkshire Downs. Between Faringdon and Cumnor there is a long ridge or plateau running parallel with the right bank of the Thames and falling in a fairly steep escarpment to the river on the north and by a much more gradual slope to the Vale of White Horse and the valley of the Ock on the south. At right angles to this ridge, from its higher end at Cumnor Hurst, there runs the short sub­ sidiary ridge of Boars Hill and Foxcombe Hill, rising above the 500 ft. contour at its north-western extremity and falling steeply on both sides to the valley of the Thames south of Oxford on the one hand and to the valley of the Ock on the other. There is evidence that this part of the Thames valley was inhabited from prehistoric times onwards, and that there were Romano-British occupation sites at Abingdon and up the valley of the Ock. Anglo-Saxon settlements proliferated not only in the river valleys, but also along the Cumnor-Faringdon ridge and below the slopes of the Downs.
