Local area and surroundings
Situated in the eastern region of the North Wessex Downs, this ancient landscape was made by people. Evidence of human influence on the area extends back at least 5,000 years when the long barrows at Avebury were constructed. Rare habitats such as chalk streams and chalk downland make the AONB a truly special place – and a haven for endangered species of birds, butterflies and wild flowers. Broadleaved woodland and wetland habitats also contribute to the great variety of wildlife Places of interest nearby include the cultural centre of Oxford, Ne bury Racecourse, Highclere Castle, Donnington Castle, Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre, with Windsor Castle being around 45 mins away by car. The bustling market town of Newbury is within easy reach and is home to a plethora of traditional ale houses and thriving restaurants set along the glistening banks of the River Kennet.
