Avon Vale, Western Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Avon Vales are bounded by the Cotswolds to the west and by the Berkshire and Marlborough Downs, Salisbury Plain and West Wiltshire Downs to the east. To the north is the Upper Thames Clay Vales and the Blackmoor Vale and Vale of Wardour to the south. This is a low lying, varied landscape, reflected in the settlement patterns and building styles. Approximately 9% of the Character Area is urban, nearly 81% is cultivated and 5% is woodland. Over 3% of the area lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Farmsteads Mapping has been undertaken across the Wiltshire part of the Character Area.
