  • Statement of Significance
    STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE 75 Statement of Significance Key facts • A remarkable landscape of undulating and plateau fields and enclosing woodlands, deeply incised chalk escarpments, rich archaeological heritage, high biodiversity and deep rooted cultural interests. • The Medieval Hunting area of the Cranborne Chase existed until 1829 and this scale of both landscape continuity and antiquity is unrivalled anywhere else • Ancient Woodland, Chalk Grassland, Wood Pasture, Chalk Stream habitats • 10% of the area is a nationally designated area for Nature Conservation • 59% of the area is within the South Wessex Downs Environmentally Sensitive Area. • 21 SSSIs covering 20 square kilometres and 115 County Wildlife Sites • 342 Listed Buildings, 4 Designated Historic Parks and Gardens, 259 Scheduled Ancient Monuments • A nationally important concentration of early Prehistoric ceremonial monuments focussed on the great Dorset Cursus • Later Prehistoric and Roman Landscape of Martin Down • Medieval Landscapes of the inner bounds of the Cranborne Chase Post Medieval Landscapes of the Ebble Valley including historic farmsteads and water meadows • Dense historic pattern of Rights of Ways • The legacy of General Pitt Rivers and Heywood Sumner • An air of isolation which has attracted an exceptional array of artists and writers 76 A Bold Distinctive Landscape “a bold landscape, an unexpected big landscape, with the satisfying amplitude that makes line more important than colour” … “It is one of those remaining places where quietness gathers subtly like mist over autumn stubbles and it is still possible to be alone with nature and undisturbed” Desmond Hawkins, Chase Historian There is no comparable area to the Cranborne Chase In natural, historic cultural natural terms, the landscape is extraordinarily rich.
