The Chiltern Hills
Ursula
11. kl
· The Chiltern Hills are known locally
as just The Chilterns and are a
chalk escarpment in the south-east
of England, lying a few miles
north-west of London.
· They cover four counties and
combine beautiful scenery with
interesting history.
· The Chilterns begin in Oxfordshire
in the Thames Valley and stretch
north-east through
Buckinghamshire and
Bedfordshire to Hitchin in
Hertfordshire. They comprise of
chalk hills covered with beautiful
beech woods, wild flowers, and a
variety of wildlife.
History
· In pre-Roman times, the Chiltern ridge provided a
relatively safe and easily negotiable route across southern
Iron Age England, thus the Icknield Way (one of
England's ancient trackways) follows the line of the hills.
· The name "Chiltern" comes from the Cilternsæte, a tribe
that occupied the area in the early Anglo-Saxon period.
· One of the principal Roman settlements in the Roman
province of Britannia Superior was sited at Verulamium
(now St Albans) and there are significant Roman and
Romano-British remains in the area.
Use
· The hills have been exploited for
their natural resources for
millennia. The chalk has been
quarried for the manufacture of
cement, and flint for local
building material. The
beechwoods of the Chiltern Hills
have for centuries fostered the
furniture trade, especially chair
making.The clean water from the
aquifer is still used for public
supply and the chalk of the hills
is an important aquifer, exploited
to provide water supplies in the
area.
Protection
· The natural beauty of the Chiltern hills is threatened by
traffic noise, climate change and urban development.
· The Chilterns Conservation Board (CCB)has produced
the five-year scheme to help protect the area.
· The Chilterns were made an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (AONB) in 1965 and attract tens of thousands
of visitors each year.
· The AONB is intended to protect the steep chalk
escarpments, grassland, chalk-bedded rivers, ancient
beech woodland and brick-and-flint villages.

In Haanja Upland there is the highest top of Estonia, Big Egg Hill (318 m), which is the highest top of the Baltic states. There are over 1400 lakes in Estonia.

Rainfall varies widely across Scotland. The western highlands of Scotland are the wettest place, with annual rainfall exceeding 3,000 mm (120 in). In comparison, much of lowland Scotland receives less than 800 mm (31 in) annually. Heavy snowfall is not common in the lowlands, but becomes more common with altitude. Braemar experiences an average of 59 snow days per year, while coastal areas have an average of fewer than 10 days. The Southern Uplands are a range of hills almost 200 kilometres (125 mi) long, interspersed with broad valleys. They lie south of a second fault line (the Southern Uplands fault) that runs from the Rhinns of Galloway to Dunbar. The geological foundations largely comprise Silurian deposits laid down some 4­500 million years ago. The high point of the Southern Uplands is Merrick with an elevation of 843 m (2,766 ft). The Central Lowlands is a rift valley mainly comprising Paleozoic formations. Many of these sediments have

The most famous ones are: Stonehenge is one of the greatest national icons of Britain. That prehistoric monument is located in the plain of Salisbury, in the county of Wiltshire in the south-west of England. It is built of 150 enormous stones which are set in a purposive circular pattern. Stonehenge was probably built to mark the longest and shortest day of the year because it lies on the line of the midsummer sunrise and the midsummer sunset.

Fishing, shipping, and farming are important activities for the people of this area. Along the coast, bays and inlets provide excellent harbours for fishing fleets. The Appalachian mountain range extends from Alabama in the southern United States through the Atlantic Provinces, creating rolling hills indented by river valleys. The Appalachian Mountains in this region are old, rounded mountains. Valleys in the region, are important farming areas producing fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. The North includes the Yukon Territory and the Northwest territories, along with all of Canada's Arctic islands. Much of the North is treeless tundra.
