클라렌든 파크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

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.

Hatchet Green is surrounded by characterful thatched cottages and is part of Hale, a scattered Forest community. The earliest cottages were built using cob in the late 18th century and are still traditionally thatched in the simple long straw style without the elaborately patterned block ridges common since the 1960s. The green itself is used by the local primary school and is also the local cricket pitch. It's also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its rare plants and wildlife.

‘Harnham Chalk Pit’ as it is marked on maps, is a long-abandoned chalk quarry that has been taken back by nature. Several different levels accessed with paths that scramble up the quarry sides. I imagine they will be lethal after recent rainfall! Loads of butterflies and wildflowers seen today (August). Unfortunately litter appears to be an issue here, not excessive but noticeable. It baffles me why anyone leaves rubbish indiscriminately in locations like this. Great distant view of Salisbury Cathedral from upper levels.

The Miz Maze is a unique and fascinating attraction located in the heart of the English countryside. The maze invites visitors of all ages to have fun and explore the intricate network of hedges and try to find their way out.

Really good place to go for beginners and lovely view definitely worth it!

Figsbury Ring is an Iron Age hill fort that affords fine views over Salisbury Plain, Old Sarum, and Salisbury Cathedral. The fort is unusual as it contains another smaller enclosure, which is possibly Neolithic. The site is managed by the National Trust and is free to enter.
