Go through the gate by the two information boards, with the car park behind you. Go straight ahead to the top of the escarpment in the area which contains two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below. Go down steps and through the gate to the right and after approx. 10m, before you have reached the White Horse, turn right over a low bank between two tall ramparts. Climb up onto either of them and walk along it, parallel to the car park. This is the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp/Castle. Turn left off it at the end and go over the stile or through the gate to your right, both of which give access to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this. -

Page 29 1. Introduction The White Horse Trail is a c90 mile circular way-marked long distance walking trail. It was originally created in 2000 by Wiltshire Ramblers with assistance from Wiltshire Council. The route passes through Pewsey, Marlborough, Broad Town, Cherhill, Devizes, Steeple Ashton and Bratton providing views of eight white horses which are cut into the turf of the chalk hillsides of Wiltshire. The walk runs through some beautiful Wiltshire countryside and also visits fascinating historical sites such as Avebury Stones and Silbury Hill. Other highlights include the Landsdowne Monument near the Cherhill White Horse and there is a long waterside section along the Kennet and Avon Canal through Devizes. The Trail nominally starts at the Westbury White Horse, although the route can be picked up at any point. Guides are available to walk the trail in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. This survey was carried out on the Broad Town section as if walking the route in the clockwise direction. 2 2. The route through Broad Town Travelling the route clockwise, the White Horse Trail enters the parish of Broad Town from Clyffe Pypard. Clyffe Pypard path number CPYP11, joins BTOW8, a bridleway, at grid ref. SU084773. This joins the public road at the top of Thornhill and uses Pye Lane, crosses the B4041 then Chapel Lane turning right at the end of Chapel Lane and continuing up Horns Lane. -

Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles. -

Caen Hill Biomanipulation
AquaticEngineering Working Above Water, On Water & Under Water Case Study : Biomanipulation Curtains - Caen Hill Locks Devizes Client: British Waterways / Canal & River Trust Caen Hill was the last stretch of the Kennet Avon Canal (linking the River Kennet at Newbury and the River Avon at Bath) to be completed, largely because it presented such a formidable obstacle. In all there are 29 locks which rise 237 feet in 2 miles (72 m in 3.2 km) or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks are in three groups. The lower seven locks are spread over 1.2 km. The next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside. Because of the steepness of the terrain, the pounds between these locks are very short. As a result, 15 locks have unusually large sideways-extended pounds to store the water needed to operate them. These pounds were formerly biodiverse and species rich, however due to the increase in turbidity creating pleasure boat traffic and the rapid rise in the carp population throughout the canal network, the pounds ecology had all but expired. High turbidity from increased diesel engine boat traffic has had a detrimental impact of the biodiversity of the Kennet Avon Canal in recent years. In January 2009 the lock pounds were drained down to facilitate fish removal. An abundance of zooplanktivorous cyprinids (silver fish) and a few piscivores (predators) were netted from the pounds, along with turbidity creating carp to 28lb. AquaticEngineering installed a flexible biomanipulation curtain across the mouth of the pounds to prevent the re-entry of fish and hold back the turbidity created by boats & operation of the locks. -
Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts. -

Handover from the previous Chair We haven’t changed much about the group itself, we are still pretty informal, we don’t have The last year and a half has been pretty eventful an elected committee, and we still have our two for the WBG. As you will all know, Steve Laurence who had been the Coordinator of the Bat Group for many years decided to retire, so to keep the group going I was persuaded to take on the role. I’m really glad I did, because it is obvious there is still a massive appetite from bat workers in Wiltshire to go out and get involved, to carry on with cutting edge scientific studies and projects and to promote the bat conservation cause. I’m now really pleased to hand the role over into the capable hands of Richard Dodd. I’ve kept two very simple questions in Hibernation surveys, Bath & Bradford-on-Avon SAC, February 2015 mind over the last eighteen months, © Will Ponting they were ‘what is the bat group for?’ and, ‘how can the WBG support meetings a year in May and November where individuals and groups studying bats within the everyone is welcome to attend and contribute. -
