Over

The North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty have been described as “the cornerstone of southern England’s ancient chalk landscapes”.

The North Wessex Downs encompass parts of Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.  It’s England’s third-largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The AONB encompasses within its 668 square miles (1,730 square kilometres), equivalent to a small county, some of the rarest species-rich chalk grassland and chalk streams, together with ancient woodland, veteran trees, arable farmland, river valleys, heaths, commons, ancient monuments and historic towns and villages. Icons include Avebury, Wilton Windmill, Savenake Forest, Uffington White Horse, Wittenham Clumps, Kennet and Avon Canal, Combe Gibbet, Race Horses around Lambourn and Lapwings - a special farmland bird which is in decline.
