Welcome to Buriton

On a wet March morning an old truck was dragged up into the Chalk Pits from Buriton pond. For over 70 years, trucks like this had hurtled around the site - carrying chalk from the quarry faces down to the limeworks below.

Tickets were snapped up for Buriton's innovative 'Lambing Lottery' - to try to win attractive cash prizes. Each of the ewes at Nursted Farm had been given their own secret number and the last ones to give birth to their lambs in the spring triggered cash prizes for three lucky people.

Regular walkers along The Links, at Halls Hill and in Weston will have noticed that the Parish Council has been able to replace yet more awkward stiles with easy-to-use kissing gates.

All are welcome at Buriton's popular annual 'camp-out'. Commencing from noon on Friday 20th July, camping overnight until the afternoon of Saturday 21st
