Monday 9th November 2026 Newtown Common
Details
Today we will continue the work we started last month for Simon Melville on Newtown Common. We will be thinning scrub on Newtown Common to the north of the Adbury Holt triangle, working northwards parallel to Well Street. This will encourage heathland vegetation and the species associated with it to thrive.
Directions and parking: coming along the A339 from Newbury, take the B4640 then turn left in front of the Swan Inn. Head up the hill towards Burghclere and after about half a mile, go past the entrance to the car park at Jonathan Hill. Continue for about half a mile before turning left into Adbury Holt, go past the small triangular parking area on your right and continue along Adbury Holt until you come to a grass track at the left-hand side of the road. Follow the track, which soon bends right, drive under the power lines and park on Newtown Common,at What3words:///month.invisible.tooth. We will walk from there to the worksite.
Please remember to bring thick gloves, hand sanitiser and a drink.
