Upper Thames Clay Vales and Midvale Ridge, Western Mixed
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Upper Thames Clay Vales covers an extensive area of low-lying land extending from west of Swindon through to Aylesbury in the east. It includes: Vale of White Horse, Aylesbury Vale, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire Vales and Buckinghamshire Southern Vale. A small portion of this area to the south-east lies in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The Midvale Ridge is a low, irregular outcrop of limestone within Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, rising above the surrounding clay vales. It runs approximately from the 19th-century railway town of Swindon in the west to north of Aylesbury in the east and is cut by the Thames Valley at Oxford.
