Twyford Down

Twyford Down is a very big hill that is located in the southern part of England. A long time ago, people wanted to build a really big road through the hill so that cars and trucks could go through it more quickly. But building the road meant digging up the hill and cutting down lots of trees, which made many people very upset.

People who wanted to save the hill and the trees protested and tried to stop the road from being built. They argued that it would harm the environment and ruin the natural beauty of the area. Despite their objections, the road was eventually built and it caused lots of problems like increased traffic, pollution, and damage to the natural habitat.

The construction of the road became a subject of controversy and raised awareness about the importance of preserving our environment. It also prompted more people to work together to protect the natural resources around them. Today, the road is still there, but many people remember the protests and the negative impact it had on the environment.
