Rectilinear field patterns, many reflecting 19th enclosure, and current land use result in a rich tapestry of colours.

This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area. Kevin and Richard can be contacted at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambs., PE17 2LS. Tel. 01487 773381.Fax. 01487 773467. Email; [email protected] Innovation is complemented by continuity. Rob Randall’s article continues his account of the history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included.

  • Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project
    Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project Executive Summary Prepared with the support of and financed through: 1 Introduction and Background to the Study This paper provides an executive summary of the full Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project Report produced by Drivers Jonas Deloitte. This paper is intended to provide a headline overview of the work undertaken and recommendations made. The full report should be referred to for more detail. Drivers Jonas Deloitte, working with WYG, were appointed by Wiltshire Council [on behalf of the Military Civilian Integration Programme (MCI)] to prepare a study to assess ways of enhancing the sustainability of communities in the settlements across Salisbury Plain which have significant military presence. The Project Brief identified that the key purpose of the study was to: “… rigorously explore and improve understanding of the dynamics of existing communities, including the impacts of the proposed changes to these settlements as a result of the Salisbury Plain Super Garrison (SGSG) project. It will need to investigate how planned investment in the area could be used as a catalyst to improve the sustainability of those communities.” The study explored a wide range of issues and factors which, when combined, would contribute towards resilient and sustainable communities, such as in relation to economy and skills, housing and the built environment, services, transport and connectivity, environmental, social, cultural and governance. Based on this analysis, the Stage 2 report set out a comprehensive suite of recommendations / prioritised physical and non-physical actions through an Implementation Plan for delivering more integrated and sustainable communities. The study predominantly focused on the settlements of Bulford, Larkhill, Tidworth and Ludgershall.

As part of Design Fix B, ten route options have then been developed for the two Corridors, informed by the previous studies that have been undertaken for the scheme. However three of the ten route options utilised a 4.5km long tunnel under the WHS. All three options were assessed to generate scheme capital costs in the region of £2 Billion which significantly exceeded the scheme budget and were immediately rejected on affordability grounds. The methodology used to appraise the remaining seven route options developed within the preferred Corridors D and F, follows on from that used for the Initial Corridors Appraisal in Design Fix A, and consists of the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria using the Option Assessment Framework contained within the Web-based Transport Analysis Guidance (WebTAG) Transport Appraisal Process. The more detailed assessment methodologies and the assessments of the Corridor D and the Corridor F route options are detailed below. These are based on the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria and use the Option Assessment Framework contained within the WebTAG Transport Appraisal Process.

  • Found on England's Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Stonehenge Is a Huge
    Found on England’s Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Stonehenge is a huge man-made circle of standing stones. Built by our ancestors over many hundreds of years, it’s one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments… And one of its biggest mysteries, too! When was Stonehenge built? Work started on this super stone circle around 5,000 years ago in the late Neolithic Age – but it took over 1,000 years to build, in four long stages! Archaeologists believe the final changes were made around 1,500BC, in the early Bronze Age. The structure of Stonehenge If you visit Stonehenge today, you’ll see many of the enormous stones still standing strong in a circular arrangement. Archaeological research shows that the structure of this amazing monument changed over time, as it was built and rebuilt by generations of ancient peoples. 4,000 years ago, Stonehenge was made up of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called ‘sarsens’, which surrounded five huge stone arches in a horseshoe shape. There were also two circles made of smaller ‘bluestones’ – one inside the outer circle and one inside the horseshoe – as well as four ‘station stones’ positioned outside the central monument. The entire site was surrounded by a circular ditch and bank, which also remains this day! How was Stonehenge built? It’s a question that has baffled people for centuries – and even to this day, no theory has been proven! How could people thousands of years ago have transported and arranged such colossal stones? A legend from the 12th century claimed giants placed the monument on a mountain in Ireland, before a wizard named Merlin magically moved the stone circle to England.
