Go through the gate by the two information boards, with the car park behind you. Go straight ahead to the top of the escarpment in the area which contains two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below. Go down steps and through the gate to the right and after approx. 10m, before you have reached the White Horse, turn right over a low bank between two tall ramparts. Climb up onto either of them and walk along it, parallel to the car park. This is the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp/Castle. Turn left off it at the end and go over the stile or through the gate to your right, both of which give access to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this.

    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, Pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical

    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical Society was founded in 1992. A large group of enthusiasts had been recruited and trained to observe and record wild plants in Wiltshire during the work for the 1993 Flora of Wiltshire. It was felt to be important to maintain this joint interest and activity. The Society was therefore inaugurated to act as a focus for its continuation. The aims of the Society, as enshrined it its constitution, are; • To encourage anyone interested in plants, both beginners and knowledgeable botanists. • To be a forum where members can learn more about plants and exchange ideas and information, eg by holding field and indoor meetings and by producing a newsletter. • To organize projects and working groups to study aspects of the Wiltshire flora. • To encourage a respect for and conservation of the Wiltshire flora and habitats. • To study and extend knowledge of the Wiltshire flora. The Society has maintained its membership, which now numbers 80-90, and has organized a consistently interesting programme of events. An informative and interesting newsletter has appeared regularly. A wide range of detailed work on the Wiltshire flora has been undertaken. To encourage and coordinate this work, a Science Group was set up in 1994. Its aims, summarized from the more comprehensive account in its minutes, are: • To encourage, advise and guide recording activities. • To play a part in the planning of meetings and workshops to maximise their educational impact. To facilitate identification of plant material. • To organize and publish records. • To ensure that surveys and other projects are carried out in as effective and scientific a manner as possible.

    Mid Wilts Way Directions West to East, in 13 Stages

    Mid Wilts Way directions west to east, in 13 stages MWW directions west to east – Mere to Kingston Deverill Maps: OS Landranger 183, OS Explorer 143 Distance: 5 miles (8 km) Starting in the centre of Mere by the war memorial and clock tower, go down the narrow, apparently unnamed road (it is called Manor Road) opposite the George Inn. Pass Castle Hill Lane, then Crescent, then Castle Hill itself, all on the L, and cross over the A303. Take the bridleway which is the second turning to the R after the Manor House drive (note: not Manor Farm, which is further on). After approx. 70 metres of a metalled road, fork L on a track for roughly the same distance. Go through two gates in quick succession, then follow the track uphill in a broad sweep to the R. It soon becomes apparent that we are ascending the western arm of a large semi-circle of hills. Eventually join another track ascending from the L. Continue with fence on L before veering R to a gate onto a wide track, which goes towards two low, flat hills (tumuli and the remains of White Sheet castle) topped by a mast on White Sheet Hill to your L. Cross the track, go through a gate and keep going in the same (north-easterly) direction through a field with a fence initially to R, then through a gap, after which the fence reappears on your L. Maintain direction on a track on the edge of the next field, then cross the third field aiming for the gate in the opposite fence.

  • Appendix B – Site Report

    Appendix B – Site Report

    Joint Waste Site Allocations Site Survey Report Appendix B – Site Report 76 Joint Waste Site Allocations Site Survey Report 77 Joint Waste Site Allocations Site Survey Report B.1 North Wiltshire B.1.1 Parkgate Farm, Purton (Site Ref N1) B.1.1.1 Introduction The site extends to 43.5 ha and is located approximately 1 km to the north of Purton. A railway line runs immediately adjacent to the northern boundary. The site is currently accessed via Mopes Lane utilising an existing accommodation bridge on the north side of the site. Mopes Lane is a single carriageway off Cricklade Road. The surrounding land uses include a restored landfill to the north east. The town of Purton overlooks the site from high ground to the south. To the south of the site the land rises to Paven Hill, with a handful of residential properties and agricultural fields scattered on the overlooking northern hillside. A newly planted woodland shelter belt has been established on the north slope of Paven Hill to screen views to the adjacent landfill. The site is currently flat pasture land (grade 4) with associated farm buildings some of which are derelict. The site comprises medium scale fields with a strong hedgerow pattern interspersed with mature hedgerow trees including Oak. River Key forms the north western boundary of the site and the Gloucester to Swindon railway line forms the north eastern boundary of the site beyond which is the restored Purton landfill (hazardous, commercial and industrial wastes). A number of Public Right of Way runs through the site.
