Search of the River Chelt"},"content":{"rendered":"<blockquote>\n<p>Bob Moore and I joined forces for another field trip, combining our modules Appraising Landscapes and Sustainable Technology 1.\u00a0 We conducted our First Year students on a walking tour of Cheltenham, tracing the River Chelt along its route through the historic town, exploring a wide range of adjacent urban landscapes.<br \/>Starting along the Honeybourne Line, the elevated green corridor created on a former railway line which serves as a vital commuter route linking the town centre to the railway station, we discussed how the native planting along the line greatly increases biodiversity within the urban environment of the town.<br \/>Bob explored how a variety of flood defence methods along the river serve to protect Cheltenham from excessive flooding, introducing students to Cox&#8217;s Meadow, an ecological site operating as a detention basin, recreational resource and cycleway.<br \/>The trip concluded at Spirax Sarco HQ, an award winning, high quality commercial landscape occupying the site of the historic Charlton House.\u00a0 Here students experienced a series of beautifully designed spaces displaying excellent examples of well planned structural, textured planting schemes bursting with colour and seasonal interest.<\/p>\n<p><a
