  • Briefing Notes, 3/9/2016
    Winchester District Outing to Newbury and the Kennet Valley, Saturday 17th September 1016: Briefing Notes, 3/9/2016 Starting out from Winchester to Beenham: 30 miles, allow one hour. There are, of course, many ways of getting to Beenham: one is to proceed up the A34 as far as Whitchurch, turn off onto the B3400 for Whitchurch and on to Overton, where you turn left onto the B3051 for Kingsclere and continue towards Baughurst and Tadley. At Baughurst you join the A340, taking the second exit on the roundabout, and head towards Aldermaston and Reading. After about 5 miles you join the A4, where you take the third exit, for the A4 towards Reading. After about half a mile the road becomes a dual carriageway, and almost at once – opposite the Comfort Hotel – you turn left for Beenham. Halfway to the village there is a hard left bend followed by a hard right bend. As you come into the village there is a mini-roundabout, where you turn left. Just follow the road round – it makes no difference whether you stay on the main road – Back Lane – or cut through via Stoneyfield (on your left) – you will see the School on your right. You turn left before you reach the school, onto the narrow road towards St Mary’s Farm, and, just beyond, the church.

  • THE Systematic List for 2009
    THE SystemaTic List for 2009 The 2009 systematic list was prepared by a team of species account writers (see below) and edited by Chris Heard and Renton Righelato. We try to restrict records to those within the long and tortuous border of Berkshire. However, this is not always possible and it should be noted, for example, that monthly peak counts of wildfowl at Eversley GPs may include some birds in Hampshire and some records on the Thames and Blackwater rivers may have been over the midline and outside Berkshire. Moreover, references to Atlas survey data include counts in the whole of border tetrads, resulting in the survey area being almost 25% larger than the area of Berkshire itself.

  • 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.
