    THE NORTH WESSEX DOWNS AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY Promotional Toolkit Issue 1 Photograph: Gary Prictor Fast and free access to the promotional resources you need to help boost visitor numbers Overview of The North Wessex Downs Photograph: North Wessex Downs The North Wessex Downs is a tranquil yet stunning landscape of rolling chalk downlands, forests, woods and dales. Beech woodland crowns the tops of many of the downs providing wonderful panoramic views for miles around. Thinly populated, the downs project a feeling of remoteness and timelessness. In the vast skies above, skylarks, lapwings and majestic birds of prey can be seen. The world famous Uffington White Horse and Avebury Stone circle are located on the Ridgeway path running across the north of the region along with many other ancient barrows and hill forts. Close to major conurbations, the Downs is the ideal place to get away from it all and enjoy the freedom of the countryside while respecting the environment. There are many footpaths, horse riding trails and cycle paths criss-crossing the landscape and taking in many of the best views and ancient monuments. If you prefer to travel by water you can hire a canal boat or go Photograph: North Wessex Downs Photograph: Anne Seth canoeing along the Kennet and Avon Canal. The North Wessex Downs has a great industrial heritage.

    Mid Wilts Way directions east to west, split into 13 stages MWW directions east to west - Ham to Wilton Oct 2020 Maps: Landranger 174, OS Explorer 158 & 157 Distance: 7.9 miles (12.6 km) The MWW starts outside the Crown and Anchor pub in Ham (which is now an Indian restaurant). With the pub on your L, walk up the main street, following it first R then L, past Manor Farm House on the R. Just past two houses on the L, the first of which is thatched, turn L into a field on a bridleway. Proceed along the wide, stony track for half a mile (0.8 km) into the second field, to reach a wooden post next to an information board about the Ham Estate. Turn R, across the field (the landowner leaves a broad path to follow through any crops) aiming for a gap in the hedge at the top of the field on your L. (This is not the official right of way as the landowner has shifted it to the west, presumably to minimise the space taken up by the path in the field to the east). Go through this gap, turn R to the corner of the field and then L along its edge. After approx 150m turn R through the line of trees and pass through a gate. Continue in the same direction diagonally up Ham Hill, and pass through a gate in an "empty" fence into another field. Maintain direction to reach another small metal gate at the top of the hill,.

  • GSIA: the FIRST 35 YEARS Ray Wilson Each Year the Industrial
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1999 pages 3-37 GSIA: THE FIRST 35 YEARS Ray Wilson Each year the industrial archaeology societies from the West of England and South Wales meet for their Annual Regional Conference. The theme for the 'Millennium Conference' held at Bridgwater on 8 April 2000 was a historical review of industrial archaeology in the region. The hosts, the Somerset Industrial Archaeology Society invited each of the societies to provide a talk on the activities of that organisation over the years. The groups were also urged to describe both the successes and the failures that they had experienced. The declared aims of all the groups are probably very similar but in practice the societies are very different in character. There is no such thing as a 'standard' industrial archaeology society and this was certainly confirmed by the presentations at the Bridgwater Conference. Some run large practical projects, others do a lot of recording and fieldwork and some are more involved in research projects and publications. The contribution from the Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology (GSIA) was made by its Honorary Secretary, the present author. Part of the research for this talk entailed reading all the minute books back to 1964 and the many files in the GSIA records. It then seemed appropriate in year 2000 to use the same material for this account of the Society from its beginnings in 1964. It must be stressed that this is simply a record of some main activities of the Society over the past 35 years.
