Seven Barrows - Added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in West Berkshire, South East

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Seven Barrows is a Bronze Age bowl barrow cemetery, 4-hectare (10 acres) of which are designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, at Upper Lambourn, Berkshire. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust and it is a Scheduled Monument.

Nationally important for its archaeology as well as its wildlife, this ancient and atmospheric site has a wonderful variety of chalk grassland flowers and butterflies -the area is an unimproved chalk grassland with a rich flora and over 100 species of herbs have been recorded. It is also very rich in insects, especially butterflies, including small blue, brown argus, chalkhill blue, dark green fritillary and the scarce marsh fritillary.

The Seven Barrows site (there are actually 30 of them in the vicinity) may have been one of the first areas to have been cleared by early humans from woodland to create arable pastures

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 25/07/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
