    Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland

    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) is taking place on the 14th April, 5.30pm at The Three Bishops, Brighstone. All parishioners are warmly invited to attend. Our Rector, Rev Helen O’Sullivan, left us in January 2016 to take up the post of Chaplain at St Paul’s London. We were sorry to see this very talented priest depart but also delighted for her. We are indebted to Helen for the energy and vision she brought to our church community. She made many friends here and will be deeply missed. Plans to restructure the ministry in West Wight are quite advanced and will no doubt have an impact on the life of our churches’ group here in Brighstone, Shorwell, Brook, Mottistone and Kingston. It is hoped our church community will continue to engage in development of these plans to ensure we achieve the best possible outcome.

We were attending the launch of HEAP, an unfortunate acronym, which still makes me think of garden rubbish. However, when the letters are opened up we find The Isle of Wight Historic Environ- ment Action Plan, a title which encompasses the historic landscape of the Island, the environment in which we live today and the future which we are bound to protect. It extends the work already being un- dertaken by the Island Biodiversity Action Plan, a little known but invaluable structure, which has al- ready been at work for ten years. This body brings together the diverse groups, national and local, whose concern is with the habitats and species which are part of our living landscape. The HEAP will do much the same at a local level for the landscape of the Island, the villages, towns, standing monuments which take us from the Stone Age to the present day and, most importantly, the agricultural landscape which is particularly vulnerable to intrusion and sometimes alarming change.

    6 Brighstone, Chale & Niton Itineraries

    BE A BRIGHSTONE, CHALE & NITON Experience sustainable transport 6 ITINERARIES It’s easy to explore the Isle of Wight using sustainable transport. Here are a few ideas for fun local days out – no car required! Everything’s better by bus. It’s more fun than a car, the kids don’t fi ght and BETTER BY BUS you get brilliant views. From Brighstone you can jump on the Southern Vectis route 12 bus and you’ll be in Freshwater in 20 minutes… so long as you don’t get stuck behind a tractor, which happens rather a lot around 1here! In Freshwater, go for a bracing walk up Tennyson Down, right up to the monument at the top. You’ll be rewarded by views over the iconic Needles. Head back the way you came, then get the route 7 bus to Yarmouth to check out the posh boutiques and restaurants. Or snap up a 24hr hop-on, hop-off bus ticket and explore the spectacular South on an Island Coaster. Stop offs include Isle of Wight Pearl where you can splurge on jewellery and a cream tea, and then go on to subtropical Ventnor with its Botanic Garden, and Shanklin old village. The Island Coaster bus will take you all the way to the golden sands of Ryde where you can pop into the Bus and Coach Museum (it’s free!). You’re never far from dinosaurs here. The Isle of Wight is known as DINO HUNT Dinosaur Island, as it’s the fossil capital of Europe. Rare species and whole skeletons have been found along the coast, sometimes by holidaymakers just messing about on the beach.
