We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Open commonland, woodland, conservation area, iconic pubs In Brief This walk sums up all that is best in the Chilterns, with long trails through lovely leafy woodland, much of it beech, but with an ever-changing natural landscape. The paths rise and fall gently as they cross the hilly terrain, giving you a constant change of views. The walk begins with a 2-km tramp across the blissful grassy plain that borders two villages, giving you the company of others at the start and perfect solitude at the heart of the walk. There are two of the Chilterns’ best pubs along the route (one ¾ of the way round, one at the end). To enquire at the Crown Inn , ring 01491-638364. For the Five Horseshoes , ring 01491-641282. ? There is one patch of nettles on this walk. With long socks and maybe a stick to swoosh the undergrowth, shorts should be wearable. The walking is mainly in woodland with no claggy soil, so boots are optional except in the wet seasons when they may be necessary to keep out any damp.

  • Changes to the Designated Area of Badgemore Primary School from 1 September 2017
    Changes to the Designated Area of Badgemore Primary School from 1 September 2017 Oxfordshire County Council has undertaken a review of the designated areas for primary schools in Henley-on-Thames. The existence of non-contiguous designated (catchment) areas is no longer acceptable. Historically, the designated area of Badgemore Primary School covered an area within the town of Henley-on-Thames and also a separate area of villages to the north of the town. To ensure that the designated area of Badgemore Primary School meets current requirements, the Local Authority proposes to amend the designated area: 1. The designated area to be redrawn so that the area within the town joins to the area to the north of the town; and 2. The designated area boundary between Trinity CE Primary School and Badgemore Primary School within the town is to be redrawn to reflect that some addresses are closer to Badgemore Primary School than to Trinity CE Primary School. Some addresses in Henley-on-Thames will now be in the designated area of more than one primary school. PROPOSAL The designated area for Badgemore Primary School be changed as shown in the map below with effect from 1 September 2017. APPENDIX 1 Addresses to be added to the designated area of Badgemore Primary School Henley-on-Thames Ancastle Green (Even number 12 to 70) 30 addresses Ancastle Green (Odd number 13 to 71) 30 addresses Ancastle Green (Acacia House) 14 addresses Ancastle Green (Beech House) 14 addresses Ancastle Green (Cedar House) 14 addresses Ancastle Green (The Lime House) 1 address
