  • English Nature Research Report
    43. Wiltshire 43.1 Physical Geology The centre and east of Wiltshire are dominated by the massive outcrop of Chalk, with Jurassic clays and limestones to the north west. There are only very limited outcrops of acidic rocks, with a small area of Tertiary deposits of the Hampslire Basin in the far south, and patches of Lower Greenwid bclow the Chalk scarp, either sidc of Galne and by Swindon. Soils Soil associations dominated by strongly acid or freely &dining acidic soils are also very restricted, with podzolic soils occurring in small areas of the Tertiary deposits in the south and on the Lower Grecnsand west of Galne. Otherwise acid soils are likely to be largely confined to areas of brown earths developed on clay with flints, and on the drift capping some of the chalk plateaux, although these sorts are likely to be fairly damp. They are most extensive in the Savemake Forest area (Map lb). 43.2 Landscape history 19th Century In the early 19th century, extensive unenclosed cornmolls existed on the Tertiary deposits to the south which would havc been similar to the commons of the New Forest. On the Lower Greensand south west of Calne, there was a sniall heathy common. There were also heathlands south of Longleat. Current landscapes and Natural Areas The Chalk outcrop is occupied by the South Wessex Downs Natural Area (NA80), Berkshire and Marlborough Downs Natural Area (NA79) and a small part of the Hampshire Downs (NA78). The South Wessex Down5 includes an area of podzolic soils developed on an out-lying outcrop of Tertiary deposits south eat of Salisbury (SU2027), but the common land here has been long enclosed and replaced with farmland and plantation.

  • Landford and Hamptworth
    Landford and Hamptworth Explore the northern tip of the New Forest in Wiltshire among woodlands that were once Royal Forests. This walk starts in the village of Landford and explores the northern tip of the New Forest in Wiltshire among woodlands that were once Royal Forests. The walk follows a wooded path to a river ford and through pretty woods and fields to Hamptworth Farm. The route then follows the edge of a golf course to Langley Wood and to the little hamlet of Hamptworth before returning back over the ford to Landford. Be Forest Friendly: The New Forest is great for dogs but to minimise disturbance to wildlife, livestock and other people, please keep your dogs close by you and visible at all times - if necessary use a lead. Pick up after your dog, especially around car parks, on paths and where people play or picnic. This Google Street View window allows you to look around a country lane near Hamptworth, where you turn right onto a grassy path at waypoint number three on the map above.

  • Settlement Strategy
    Topic SALISBURY DISTRICT LDF Creating Sustainable Paper 3 Communities Settlement Strategy June 2007 LDF Topic Paper - Settlement strategy Introduction Locating new development, whether for housing, employment land or any other land use is perhaps the most difficult part of planning for the future. Urban change and the loss of greenfield land to new development will create disagreement and division about the choices which must be made. However, one thing is certain – the district must accommodate new housing and employment development and this needs to be supported in terms of the community infrastructure that must be provided. Based on the growth in population, the Regional Plan is suggesting that between 10,000 and 12,000 houses should be built in Salisbury District in the period to 2026. Of this total it is expected that just over half of this is located within, or adjacent to, Salisbury. The council is already examining the land resources available from brownfield sites across the district, however it is already clear that new land will need to be used to accommodate this development. A key principle underpinning national and regional planning policy is the need to create, support and promote sustainable communities, and one of the main dimensions of sustainability is locating housing, employment, and services closely together. In addition to reducing the need to travel (and consequently, carbon emissions), this approach can help to promote vibrancy, the viability of services, and robust community facilities. This section sets out a draft classification of settlements in Salisbury district based upon their key characteristics including services, facilities, population, employment, and relations to other settlements.

  • A History of Landford in Wiltshire
    A History of Landford in Wiltshire Part 2 – Parish History This history of Landford has been compiled from various sources using the Internet, particularly the British History Online and Wiltshire Community History websites. Not all sources are 100% reliable and subsequently this account may also perpetuate some of those errors. The information contained in this document is therefore for general information purposes only. Whilst I have tried to ensure that the information given is correct, I cannot guaranty the accuracy or reliability of the sources used or the information contained in this document. The parish of Landford lies in the extreme south-east of Wiltshire, between the parishes of Whiteparish and Redlynch and bordering the Hampshire parishes of Plaitford (once in Wiltshire) and Bramshaw (part of which was also in Wiltshire until 1894). Like its neighbours it was part of the Royal Forest of Melchet and the forest has had considerable influence on its development. The boundary of Hamptworth, (recently transferred from Redlynch to Landford parish), came very close to the present village centre of Landford and the two communities have many links. The village of Nomansland has also had close links with Landford since it was founded around 1800 and today the two villages join to the south-west of Landford Common. Landford, along with neighbouring Whiteparish and Redlynch, geologically belongs to the Hampshire basin while its landscape owes much to the adjacent New Forest. The river Blackwater flows from west to east across the parish with river terrace deposits in its valley. Otherwise there is London Clay to the north of the river and London Clay and Bracklesham Sands to the south.
