Abstract: |
The Berkshire and Marlborough Downs is an extensive area extending from the edge of Salisbury Plain and the West Wiltshire Downs in Wiltshire across a band of chalk to the edge of the Chilterns in Oxfordshire. In addition to the open, rolling chalk upland, the area also includes downland with woodland, more intimate river valleys and farmed vale landscapes. The area is almost entirely (97%) within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is a rural agricultural landscape with 97% of the Character Area classified as open country and just 3% urban. There is relatively low woodland cover (6.5%). Farmsteads Mapping has been undertaken across the Wiltshire part of the Character Area. |
