Whitewood Heath
Whitewood Heath
There are quite a lot of Heath place names round here, Goring Heath, Chazey Heath etc. which don't match the usual perception of what a heath looks like.
"In Oxfordshire, heathland and acid grassland were never very
common and are now very rare habitats largely restricted to the
sandy soils on the Corallian sandstone (where it forms a grassy
‘Breckland’ type heath) and the clay-with-flints and pebbly
soils of the Chilterns" - Oxfordshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan.
Most Chiltern heaths are now farmed or have reverted to woodland.
