Reporting the problems and getting them fixed helps to keep the network of footpaths safe and clear for walking in our area. We are keen to build on this successful day, so if you have time to walk some of the paths in your area please volunteer for path checking by contacting Vince or John (details on back page of Programme). Where are Path Checkers needed? Path Checkers are needed in Chalfont St Peter, Chartridge, Little Chalfont, Seer Green and The Lee and assistant Path Checkers are needed in Amersham, Ashley Green, Chesham, Chesham Bois, Cholesbury, Little Missenden and Great Missenden.

  • Lca 16.5 Ashley Green Settled Plateau
    LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU LCA in Context LCA XX LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Elevated, undulating plateau, of chalk overlain by clay with flints, which gives rise to loamy/clayey soils with impeded drainage. • Relatively large fields of arable cultivation, interspersed with smaller fields of rough grazing, pasture and paddock on village edges. Defined by hedgerows with trees and occasional fenced or open boundaries. • Small pockets of woodland scattered across the plateau, with a significant area of ancient broadleaved woodland located at Hockeridge Wood in the north and orchards south of Ashley Green. • Villages are spread linearly along roads, often joining one another e.g. Botley and Ley Hill and Lye Green and Orchard Leigh. A mix of modern and historically vernacular buildings. • Leyhill Common is a distinctive area of neutral grassland amongst broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland crossed by straight rural roads. It has been a golf course since 1900. • Extended fields with extensive boundary loss and 20th century enclosure dominate the area. Pre 18th century enclosures occur in proximity to settlements. • A medieval barn and moated site at Grove Farm and Whelpley Hill camp, a prehistoric or medieval fortification are scheduled monuments. Other archaeological features relate to the clay and flint geology e.g. Medieval pottery and Neolithic flints. • Local footpaths occur frequently, crossing farmland and woodland and linking villages. • The A416 and B405 cut through the landscape, and form the structure of linear settlements. • Views often across fields to a wooded or open skyline, with some to Chesham and the adjacent ridge and valley landscape.
