Walking on the Isle of Wight WALKING ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT About the Author WALKING ON Paul Curtis left the world of office administration to write this guidebook, having enjoyed writing a popular blog about a 2008 solo cycling trip from THE ISLE OF WIGHT Boston to San Diego. He loves travelling, particularly long-distance hik- by Paul Curtis ing and cycling, and enjoys getting away to as many wonderful places as possible in his free time. He fell in love with the Isle of Wight on his first visit in 2008, and returned periodically to walk there before making it his home in 2011. In addition to his US adventure, Paul has cycled from Amsterdam to Sarandë in Albania and from Calais to Istanbul, hiked across Switzerland and has completed several long-distance walking trails in the UK including the North Downs Way, the Thames Path and the Hertfordshire Way. He has designed a South of England figure of eight walk, stretching from Dover to Land’s End and centred on Windsor. He is a solo, romantic explorer in the Wainwright tradition and believes that guidebooks should first and foremost be about finding the most beautiful routes and providing precise, accurate descriptions. Paul lives and works on the Isle of Wight.

Essential characteristics of the South-West Wight Coastal Zone include the long coastline and cliffs containing fossils and archaeological material, the pattern of historic lanes, tracks and boundaries, field patterns showing evidence of open-field enclosure, valley-floor land, historic villages, hamlets and dispersed farmsteads, and vernacular architecture. The Military Road provides a scenic and historically significant route along the coast. The settlements of Mottistone, Hulverstone, Brighstone and Shorwell straddle the boundary between this Area and the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge. Historically these settlements exploited both Areas. For the sake of convenience these settlements are described in the HEAP Area document for the West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge even where they fall partially within this Area. However, they are also referred to in this HEAP document where appropriate. This document considers the most significant features of the historic landscape, the most important forces for change, and the key management issues. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Occupies strip of land between West Wight Downland Edge & Sandstone Ridge and coast. • Coastline within this Area stretches from Compton to Shepherd’s Chine and comprises soft, eroding cliffs with areas of landslip.

One clause seemed directly written to me - the President was “not ex- pected to be expert in all the fields covered by the various sections." As most of you will know, unlike past Presidents who have been specialists, I am very much an ordinary member with a general interest in natural history and archaeology, but my membership over many years has widened my knowledge and kept up a spirit of inquiry. With this in mind last May I joined the general meeting exploring the ground around the glass- houses of Wight Salads, somewhere completely new to me. It proved to be two hours of continuous in- terest as we wandered by the new lakes created from the water used in the hydroponic growing system. With experts in identifying grasses, mosses, flowers, birds all to hand, and all more than willing to point out, identify and explain when I asked any question. It was a real illustration of teaching and learning in the best way.

  • Geotourism and Geoconservation on the Isle of Wight, UK: Balancing Science with Commerce
    Carpenter: Rocky start of Dinosaur National Monument… Geoconservation Research Original Article Geotourism and Geoconservation on the Isle of Wight, UK: Balancing Science with Commerce Martin I. Simpson Lansdowne, Military Rd, Chale, Isle of Wight, PO38 2HH, UK. Abstract The Isle of Wight has a rich and varied geological heritage which attracts scientists, tourists and fossil collectors, both private and commercial. Each party has a role to play in geoconservation and geotourism, but a policy on the long term curation of scientifically important specimens is essential to prevent future conflicts. A new code of conduct is recommended, based on the one adopted on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset. I have spent over 40 years living on the Island and working in the tourist industry running geology field-trips for both academics and tourists, and managing one of the longest running geological gift shops. I see the geological heritage and fossil sites as valuable geotourism assets, and envisage no problems with respect to the scientifically important material provided that a clear collecting policy is adopted, and the local museum generates funding to ensure that significant finds remain on the Island. A positive attitude is recommended in view of past experiences. Corresponding Author: Martin I. Simpson Lansdowne, Military Rd, Chale, Isle of Wight, PO38 2HH, UK.

We were attending the launch of HEAP, an unfortunate acronym, which still makes me think of garden rubbish. However, when the letters are opened up we find The Isle of Wight Historic Environ- ment Action Plan, a title which encompasses the historic landscape of the Island, the environment in which we live today and the future which we are bound to protect. It extends the work already being un- dertaken by the Island Biodiversity Action Plan, a little known but invaluable structure, which has al- ready been at work for ten years. This body brings together the diverse groups, national and local, whose concern is with the habitats and species which are part of our living landscape. The HEAP will do much the same at a local level for the landscape of the Island, the villages, towns, standing monuments which take us from the Stone Age to the present day and, most importantly, the agricultural landscape which is particularly vulnerable to intrusion and sometimes alarming change.

  • The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape
    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.

INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography, land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. This document identifies essential characteristics of the Atherfield Coastal Plain as its distinctive coastal landscape, its exposed and windswept agricultural landscape with large arable fields and lack of woodland or hedgerows, and its dispersed pattern of settlement with buildings strung out along Atherfield Road. The visible force of the sea and the strong influence of the wind and weather are defining characteristics of this area. The most significant historic landscape features, important forces for change and key management issues for the Area are considered in this document. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • Occupies strip of land between South Wight Sandstone and Gravel and coast. • Coastline in this Area stretches from Shepherd’s Chine to Blackgang Chine and comprises soft, eroding cliffs with areas of landslip and chines at Whale, Walpen and Ladder. • Access to beach currently only at Shepherd’s Chine, on boundary with South-West Wight Coastal Zone. o Whale Chine is defined as a Right of Way on the Definitive Map but has been closed for some years due to coastal erosion. • Low-lying and flat area inland with maximum altitude of 55m OD south of Samber Hill.

  • Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2016 - 2027
    APPENDIX 3 Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2016 - 2027 E - 34 1 FOREWORD In May 2013, at the Brighstone Parish Council Annual Meeting, a newly formed Brighstone Parish Council resolved to undertake the process to create a Neighbourhood Plan. This decision was taken following several months of discussion by the previous council. Four councillors (also being local parishioners) volunteered to organise meetings and to advertise for volunteers from the local parish to come forward to form a steering group. From the very beginning there was a clear intention that the neighbourhood plan would be produced by local people from the community, with the whole community having an opportunity to express their views on all local issues and indicate what their vision would be for the parish until 2027. Over twenty volunteers came forward and the Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group was formed. Terms of reference were established and funding was secured and a special thanks is given to Locality for the grant funding received and the Isle of Wight Council for their funding contribution. As is usual on a project which has taken a number of years to complete, we have gained new Steering Group members but also lost several members of the group for genuine reasons during the process. A dedicated core team of the Steering Group has met at least once every month and at crucial points in the process sometimes every fortnight whilst working on the process. A number of sub groups were also established to help with specific parts of the process such as publicity, consultation, events, parish profiling (gathering evidence from published data).
