For centuries Bath had suffered from the River Avon flooding - even the Romans had to raise the level of some of their baths complex to alleviate the problem. Flood levels are marked on the buttress of Widcombe footbridge, on buildings in Grove Street and on Norfolk Buildings.
In the early 1970's the weir was rebuilt in its current 'V' shape with an associated flood control gate (sluice) on the east side of the river (see also Civic Trust Award page).
Pulteney Weir features in the recently released film of Les Misérables. Part of the scene where Inspector Javert commits suicide by jumping into the River Seine was filmed here in October 2012.

The 92 acre site in Warnham, North Horsham was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1988.
It includes a 17 acre millpond, marshes, grassland, reedbeds, hedges as well as both broad-leaved and coniferous woodlands. It provides a haven for a variety of wildlife with over 400 species of plants, from Common Bird's-foot Trefoil to Orchids and ancient Oaks. Over 100 species of bird are recorded annually, including a thriving Heronry, wildfowl, and all three species of Woodpecker.
The beautiful Kingfisher makes the most of the waters and are regularly seen from all three bird hides. The Reserve is also rich in dragonfly - over 21 species have been recorded - which can be seen zipping around the different wetland habitats.

Ditchling Beacon is located 7 miles to the north of Brighton and just south of the village of Ditchling. At 248 metres above sea-level, Ditchling Beacon is the highest point in East Sussex and offers commanding 360 degree views from its summit. Look south out to sea, north across the Weald or east-west across the Downs.
As the name suggests, Ditchling Beacon was once the site for a warning beacon. Visible for miles around, the Beacon would be maintained ready to light in times of imminent invasion.
The site is also of archaeological interest, with remains of an Iron Age hillfort.
Neighbouring Ditchling Down lies to the west of Ditchling Beacon, and is a prime example of chalk downland. Walk the path along the scarp slope, passing through the disused chalk pits grazed by sheep and dotted with wild flowers throughout spring and summer.
