  • Mega-Footpath Problems
    MEGA-FOOTPATH PROBLEMS Most of the Diversion and Modification Orders to PRoWs (DMMOs) published by the County Council are not contentious and therefore the Ramblers do not object to them. Sometimes a suggestion to the Modification Order is made by David Godfrey (Oxfordshire Area Footpath Officer) which leads to a better alternative route. However there are a number of major footpath issues currently affecting Public Rights of Way in the Vale of White Horse. They are listed below. 1. Marcham Mill – Bridge repairs - Closure of path since 2013 SU 457953 293/17 (Marcham). This has been closed for a number of years as the land-owner has refused to carry out repairs to the bridge which has become unsafe. He has also refused to allow the County County to erect a temporary bridge over the stream. The latest news from OCC is that representatives of the Land-owner are at last discussing technical issues with OCC staff. 2. Thames Trail – Obstruction at Oxford Boat Hire premises SP 444076 184/55 (Cumnor). Again a long standing problem. The footpath which runs alongside the site has been blocked by overhanding sterns of boats awaiting repairs. This forces walkers to walk through a working boatyard with attendant Health and Safety issues. 3. Sunningwell Quarry – Closure of path 372/8 at GR SP 498012 for many years. The high cost of the construction of a stairway to overcome quarry face has prevented OCC from implementing a project. Recently Sunningwell Parish Council paid for an initial feasibility study which shows how a new path could be provided to overcome the quarry face.

  • Some Old Roads of North Berkshire
    Some Old Roads of North Berkshire- By the late GABRIELLE LAMBRICK HE area of Berkshire of which the old highways are discussed in the T following pages is that bounded on the north-west, north and east by the gr~at loop of the Thames from north of Faringdon, through Oxford, to Abing­ don, and on the south by the River Ock, with an extension from the middle valley of the Ock (in the Vale of White Horse; to Wantage, at the foot of the Berkshire Downs. Between Faringdon and Cumnor there is a long ridge or plateau running parallel with the right bank of the Thames and falling in a fairly steep escarpment to the river on the north and by a much more gradual slope to the Vale of White Horse and the valley of the Ock on the south. At right angles to this ridge, from its higher end at Cumnor Hurst, there runs the short sub­ sidiary ridge of Boars Hill and Foxcombe Hill, rising above the 500 ft. contour at its north-western extremity and falling steeply on both sides to the valley of the Thames south of Oxford on the one hand and to the valley of the Ock on the other. There is evidence that this part of the Thames valley was inhabited from prehistoric times onwards, and that there were Romano-British occupation sites at Abingdon and up the valley of the Ock. Anglo-Saxon settlements proliferated not only in the river valleys, but also along the Cumnor-Faringdon ridge and below the slopes of the Downs.
