Beavan's Hill

Beavan's Hill

Beavan's Hill is a village in south east Herefordshire, England.

The village is situated on the edge of Withymoor Wood, an area of ancient woodland [Herefordshire Council - Draft Unitary Development Plan - Nature Conservation and Geological Sites [http://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/UDP/Documents/UDP/Draft/PDF/Appdcsac.pdf] (pdf) retrieved 2006-06-24] , and on comparatively high ground forming the watershed between the rivers Wye and Severn.

The village is near junction 3 of the M50, one of the first motorways built in Britain. The slip roads on the junction end in right angled turns which often surprise motorists used to the more gradual, modern junction designs.

A proposal to site two wind turbines near the village has generated some local opposition. [ This is Herefordshire - News Archive [http://archive.thisisherefordshire.co.uk/2005/10/14/70753.html] retrieved 2006-06-24]

The opposition to the proposal for two wind turbines has been successful in stopping this development.

Credit has to be given to the Action Group, SouthHerefordshireSOS, for this successful conclusion. For a full history of this Group, go to www.southherefordshiresos.blogspot.com.

Following on from this exercise they are now focussing on Alternative Energy and Quiet Lanes for the area.
