Upper Park Meadow Area
Description
The narrow, western section of Lowndes Park is defined as a Locally Important Landscape Area in the Chiltern District Local Plan and the area is managed to encourage wild flora and fauna. The areas of meadow grass are also visually in character with the adjoining countryside, which is part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Current condition
The area is left as a large meadow area, accessible via wide paths, and is very popular with dog walkers, ramblers and runners. There are sinuous borders to the paths and areas of long grass left to grow around trees. There are spectacular and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The self‐sown oaks have been selectively removed to prevent uncontrolled woodland development.
News & Events
The next Friends of Lowndes Park working party will be on Sunday 9 June 2013. We meet at 10am in the Archena Garden which is next to the Temperance Hall in Church Street.
Why not come and listen to some great music in the Park this Summer. On a Sunday afternoon during July and August you can experience a variety of music including Jazz, Barbershop, Rock 'n' Roll and Traditional Brass Band and all for free. We would recommend you bring a picnic and a deckchair. For further details go to the Town Hall website
On February 17th 2013, the Mayor of Chesham, Collette Littley, opened the new Chesham Orchard. So far the weather has been rather good for a young orchard and the trees are doing well and blossoming nicely. Please click on the title to find out more.
