The nature reserve was part of a group of Royal Forests until the 16th century when, unlike the New Forest, they declined and reverted to farmland and landscaped parks. The reserve's ancient woodlands have a long history of management and would have provided local people with a valuable source of timber, wood fuel, forage for pigs (known as pannage) and grazing for livestock. Coppicing was particularly important, and as you walk through the reserve look for old banks and ditches that mark the boundary of coppice enclosures. Coppicing is the method of cutting trees such as hazel or oak to ground level on a regular cycle. This produces fast-growing shoots for fodder, firewood and making charcoal.

The River Blackwater begins just north of Redlynch in Wiltshire and flows eastwards to join the River Test near Totton in Hampshire.

Lovely country pub with a large beer garden at the front.

Nice track along the top of the ridge from Lockerley past Dean to Pepperbox Hill. Great views towards Salisbury and spectacular sunsets from there

Great views on a nice day. You can catch fantastic sunsets from here. Careful crossing the A36 if continuing on the bridle way across from Pepperbox Hill

Great views from the top but keep an eye out for dog sh*t! There was so much that hadn’t be picked up and I only noticed when it was too late.

W3W: ///sharpness.baseless.printer The wire fence from the byway has a convenient squeeze place to gain access to the (arable) field. On a clear day the Exxon Mobil refinery at Fawley (21 miles) can be seen.

The access track from the A36 is a bit of a deterrent but its just a short way up to a good parking place.

A nice run from the top of PepperBox Hill, with good views across Wiltshire from the chalk ridge. There's more details on PepperBox Hill itself from the Nation Trust site (https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/pepperbox-hill). The path crosses farm land just off from Dean Road, which can sometimes be hard to spot.
