3. Description of the Site and Surrounding Area 3. Description of the Site and Surrounding Area Location and Setting 3.1 The Site extends to approximately 40.2 hectares and is presently in agricultural use. The Site is situated within the administrative boundaries of Swindon Borough Council (SBC) and Wanborough Parish Council. 3.2 The Site currently comprises a number of arable field parcels with boundary hedgerows (of varying quality) and a semi-improved grassland field to the north. To the centre of the Site are situated a number of existing agricultural buildings and a dwelling associated with Inlands Farm. The post 1998 Agricultural Land Classicisation (Ref 3.1), (ALC) classifies the land on Site is Grade 3b which is considered moderate quality agricultural land and not within a grade considered to be ‘Best and Most Versatile’ agricultural land. 3.3 The topographical survey indicates that the Site generally falls from south east to north west. The maximum and minimum ground levels are approximately 130 metres Above Ordnance Datum (m AOD) and 100 m AOD respectively. However, the majority of the Site is predominantly flat lying at an elevation of no more than 100 m AOD. 3.4 The surrounding area is predominantly rural with fields in the immediate surroundings. To the northwest and south, the Site is bounded by public highways; The Marsh and Pack Hill respectively and to the east it is bounded by treed agricultural land that surrounds the western edge of Wanborough. Historic Land Use 3.5 The Site area is described in the Historic Characterisation Landscape Project (HLCP) as 'Amalgamated Fields' and is allocated the unique ID HWI6549. The Site is shown on the 1st edition OS map as well-established farmland by the later 19th century. The historical mapping indicates that the Site was primarily open fields from the late 1880s, though the fields comprising the site area have seen a degree of modification leading to the loss of a number of historic field boundaries and the amalgamation of eight early fields into four Modern ones. Elements of the historic form can be discerned in the Modern layout on the external boundaries of the site area, which are broadly unchanged since the late 19th century. 3.6 A pond was once present in part of the Site and was subsequently backfilled. Connection and Access 3.7 The Site is currently accessed via The Marsh to the west. 3.8 Swindon Railway station is located approximately 6.8km to the north west of the Site and can be accessed using the local bus network. There are two existing bus stops that are located within walking distance from the Site, which are the Calley Arms bus stop and The Marsh bus stop. 3.1 3.9 A number of Public Rights of Way (PRoW) transect the Site and adjoin to routes into Swindon, Wanborough and Liddington. A former permissive path also runs along the southern edge of the Site adjacent to Pack Hill. There is no immediate cycle network leading to the Site. In the surrounding area, a network of off-road and on-road cycle ways provide access to Swindon town centre from the Commonhead Roundabout, approximately 500m from the Site’s south eastern boundary. Built Heritage and Archaeology 3.10 There are no designated heritage assets within the Site. There are numerous listed buildings within 2km of the Site, the closest being in Wanborough and include: • Moat Cottage (grade II) and Lake Cottage (grade II) – former rural cottages 0.2km to the north of the Site; • The Lynch House (grade II), Disney Cottage (grade II) and The White House (grade II) - former rural cottages / farmhouses, 0.2km to the south east of the Site within Upper Wanborough village; • Parish Church of St Andrew (grade I) – included as a local landmark within Upper Wanborough village, 0.3km south east of the Site; and • Wrightsbridge House Farmhouse and Coachhouse to east (grade II) – a historic farmstead 0.4km to the north east of the Site. 3.11 There are six Scheduled Monuments within 3km of the Site. These are: • Hall Place (1.1km east of the Site); • Site of Roman town, west of Wanborough House (1.3km north of the Site); • Stone circle immediately north east of Day House, Coate (1.5km west of the Site); • Bowl barrow 85m north east of Day House Cottages (1.6km west of the Site); • Liddington Castle (2.9km south of the Site); and • Linear boundary earthwork west of Liddington Castle (3km south of the Site). 3.12 There are three Conservation Areas within 3km of the Site. These are the Upper Wanborough (immediately east of the Site); Lower Wanborough (0.4km east of the Site) and Liddington (0.7 south of the Site). 3.13 Previous archaeological and geophysical assessment surveys have identified a number of buried archaeological features within the Site, which are connected to a wider area of Roman settlement identified as part of the New Eastern Villages (NEV) scheme. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the greater part of the Site appears to be devoid of archaeological interest, although buried evidence for medieval agricultural activity in the form of ridge-and- furrow may survive in some areas, along with medieval agricultural activity predominantly in the form of ridge-and-furrow. 3.2 Landscape and Visual 3.14 With respect to landscape, the Site falls outside of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the boundary of which is situated immediately to the south of Pack Hill, directly south of the Site. The Site falls within an opportunity for the proposed Great Western Community Forest. 3.15 The Site is identified as falling within the Vale of White Horse Landscape Character Area as defined within the Swindon Landscape Character Area SPG (Ref 3.2) (adopted 2004). Key characteristics of the area include: extensive views towards the Downs; numerous ponds and small streams; substantial tree cover pre 1970 but much reduced since the onset of Dutch Elm disease; and, perception of a remote landscape. The Site falls within an opportunity area for the proposed Great Western Community Forest. The Site is also covered by Policy NC3 – Indicative Non- Coalescence area which relates to the setting of Upper Wanborough in the context of the southern edge of the planned NEV development area as set out in the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 (Ref 3.3). 3.16 The Site is currently reasonably contained to the north, east and west and open to longer distance views from the south. Biodiversity (flora and fauna) Designated Sites 3.17 There are no statutory or non-statutory nature conservation designations on the Site or immediately adjacent land. There are no internationally protected sites (Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation or Ramsar Sites) located within 10km of the Site. 3.18 The closest Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is the Coate Water SSSI. This 51.1ha SSSI lies approximately 1.7km to the west of the Site. Coate Water has a diverse breeding bird population associated with two lakes and adjacent semi-natural vegetation. The site is one of the most important in Wiltshire for breeding Reed Warbler and Great Crested Grebes. It also supports a wide range of dragonflies and damselflies and has botanical interest. A portion of the south western corner of the Site (approximately 1.3ha) lies within the 1-2km Impact Risk Zone (IRZ) for the Coate Water SSSI and the remainder of the site falls within the 2-3km IRZ for this SSSI, as identified from the MAGIC online database (Ref 3.4). 3.19 There is one Local Nature Reserve (LNR) within 2km of the Site (the Coate Water LNR, approximately 1.8km south east) and no National nature Reserves. 3.20 There are five Local Wildlife Sites (LWS’s) within 2km of the Site, the closest of which is the River Cole LWS. This 37.9ha LWS lies approximately 150m to the west of the Site at its closest point and comprises a river complex draining Swindon into the Thames. Habitats 3.21 No areas of woodland included in Natural England’s Inventory of Ancient Woodland are located within or adjacent to the Site or within 2km of the Site boundary. 3.22 A Woodland Trust site, Warneage Wood, is located approximately 50m to the north of the Site at its closest point. The woodland was planted in 1994/5 using locally present broadleaved tree and shrub species into previously agricultural grassland. A number of Black 3.3 Poplars were planted to help increase the local population and to improve the survival prospects of what is otherwise considered a rare species in Britain. 3.23 In general terms, the Site is dominated by habitats of low nature conservation interest in their own right, being dominated by a series of large, intensively farmed arable fields. Also of limited interest are the smaller fields comprising species-poor grassland located in the central area and to the east of the Site, and the buildings and hardstanding associated with Inlands Farm. Habitats of higher ecological interest, albeit considered in combination to be of no more than local interest in their own right, are restricted to field margins and include: • Hedgerows located around field and site boundaries; • A pond located on the western site margin; and • Areas of recent tree and scrub planting/ regeneration. Species 3.24 Only one possible bat roost has been identified on Site to date. This relates to a potential low-status non-breeding roost supporting an individual/ low number of Common Pipistrelle located within a farm building in the centre of the Site.

  • Liddington Castle Circular Walk
    LIDDINGTON CASTLE CIRCULAR WALK 8½ miles (13¾ km) - allow 4 hours (see map on final page) Introduction This walk within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty takes you through some remarkably remote, undulating and scenic downland. It is just a few miles south of Swindon and includes a lovely stretch of The Ridgeway as well as the ancient Iron Age fort of Liddington Castle. Please note the walk shares part of the route with the Aldbourne Circular Walk, although the shared section is walked in the opposite direction. The walk is waymarked with this ‘Ridgeway Circular Route’ waymark. Terrain and conditions Mostly downland tracks, some a little rough or rutted. Short lengths of field path through pasture and minor road at start and finish. Quite strenuous with several fairly steep up and downhil sections. 248m (814 feet) ascent and descent. No stiles. 14 gates many of which seem permanently open. Some paths can be muddy and slippery after rain. There may be seasonal vegetation on the route. Preparation Wear appropriate clothing and strong, comfortable footwear. Carry water. Take a mobile phone if you have one but bear in mind that coverage can be patchy in rural areas. If you are walking alone it’s sensible, as a simple precaution, to let someone know where you are and when you expect to return. Getting there By Car: The walk starts in the small car park on the minor road 100m west off the A346 just south of the petrol station at Chiseldon at map grid reference SU192793. To find it online, visit www.gridref.org.uk, enter ‘SU192793’ in the box and click ‘find a place’.
