Here is a #thread 🧵about me seeking out a little river near where I live in berkshire and what happens when you close down access to people seeking a connection to nature and place @Right_2Roam @jm0ses @Buteblackbird @nicolawriting @nickhayesillus1 @Anna_Dillon @avlawson This is the River Lambourn which sits nestled in the wonderful North Wessex Downs AONB, and it is indeed wonderful - a gorgeous clear chalk stream which flows from Lambourn in the downs to meet the River Kennet just near Newbury...it's known as the valley of the racehorse 🐎

Following in the footsteps of @Right_2Roam and their ask to chart the "death by a thousand cuts approach" to cutting off and limiting our access to the land and spaces we live in, here is a thread🧵 on a local area of land near my house The area sits between a busy railway and a dual carriageway near a town in the SE of England. We are blessed to be near a number of waterways and floodplain which is used as farmland, with elements of access across it or near it. A quiet haven against distant noise
