A cold, blue skied day at Martin Down<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Recently we found ourselves at Martin Down, a national nature reserve on the Hampshire\/Dorset border, as the Eldest was doing a hike for her Duke of Edinburgh’s award. \u00a0It was a beautiful clear day, but bitterly cold. \u00a0So while the Eldest took part in the day’s hike we enjoyed a rather shorter walk.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ It is one of the largest areas of chalk grassland in the UK. \u00a0Farmers from the Neolithic age onwards cleared woodland and cultivated the area; common grazing rights have been in place here since medieval times. It is another stunning area of Hampshire that has been, until now, undiscovered by us.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$
Miles of footpaths to follow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
There are miles of good footpaths and an easy circular walk. \u00a0 An ancient earthwork, Bokerley Dyke – a broad bank and ditch, runs for 6km and is believed to date back to the Bronze Age. Today it forms part of the Hampshire\/Dorset boundary.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$
Impressive views from the top of the ridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The top of the earthworks give awesome views, particularly on the clear, cold day that we visit. The area was also used as a rifle range during WWII. $\"\"$ <\/p>\n
$\"\"$ It was a delight to find and given the fact that it is renowned as a place for wild flowers, $\"\"$ butterflies, bees and birds, it will be a place we will return to in the Spring.<\/p>\n
