Lordsdale Greenway Walk

"Lordsdale Greenway travels for 2.25 miles from Dale Road to Lord’s Hill Way. At its northern end it links into Lord’s Wood Greenway and then into Lord’s Wood Plantation beyond. The Greenway follows the stream valleys of Tanner’s Brook and Holly Brook which supports several important habitats and species.

Lordsdale Greenway has been locally designated and protected as a site of importance for nature conservation (SINC). Habitats present include alder swamp woods, unimproved grassland and semi improved grassland. These support species such as wood horsetail (equisetum sylvaticum) which is rare in Hampshire and the nationally important bluebell (hyacinthoides non-scripta). "

Aldermoor Listed Buildings

Aldermoor Farmhouse
Early to mid-19th century

"Southampton City Council state: "The house known as Aldermoor Lodge (later Aldermoor House) was built in 1800".[7] The building is a two story L-shaped house of painted brickwork. The farm is close to Tanners Brook which flows past Shirley Pond to Millbrook and then into Southampton Water. The area next to Aldermoor Farm is one of the few remaining natural wet meadows in the city.[7] In June 2006, an archaeological dig on part of the farm found no items of particular interest.[8] "
