Published 2011 Front cover: Beacon Hill, Hampshire Welcome AONB Director Henry Oliver invites everyone to enjoy the North Wessex Downs WELCOME to the magazine that helps you discover the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. What is an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’? Simply some of Britain’s finest countryside – officially recognised as being up there with the Cotswolds and the Lake District. The North Wessex Downs are a huge swathe of stunning countryside right in the heart of crowded southern England – somewhere with space to walk, cycle (on or off-road), ride, fish, canoe, sail (on our canal), watch wildlife, explore prehistoric sites, stargaze, eat, drink and be merry. Let us take you on a tour of our wonderful white horses; show you where you can cycle or sail your way across country far from noise and bustle; introduce you to the people working to encourage farmland birds; lead you to places immortalised on page and screen; and tempt you with our Local Products Directory, the guide to all that’s good in the North Wessex Downs. And remember to enter our competition to win an amazing Sony NEX camera. Most of all, we hope you’re inspired to go out and enjoy this beautiful landscape. UP! On The North Wessex Downs | 3
