又是一个充满阳光的慵懒周末，这一期我们从主校区向东走，沿着North Downs path延伸的方向，步行约30分钟，来到另一座市镇公园佩夫利山Pewley Down。
佩夫利山Pewley Down是英格兰吉尔福德（Guildford）附近的一座小山，并因此而得名，这里如今已经被改造成为了一片美丽的宽阔的开放式公园，连绵起伏的丘陵，林地间的小径，众多的休憩与野餐烧烤区，让这里成为了连接喧嚣城市与优美郊野的理想休闲放松之地，坐在这里，你不会相信自己与吉尔福德镇中心的喧嚣仅仅相距一英里。走在小丘步道之上，整个吉尔福德市镇风光尽收眼底，尤其在夏日的艳阳天下，这种感觉一定非常惬意。
佩夫利山的另一侧有一篇低洼的谷地，由于没有停车位，只能骑行或徒步进入。在春夏时节，野花漫山遍野地绽放，从远处看上去异常色彩缤纷。在这里你会遇到很多徒步或遛狗的人，很多人都会非常有礼貌地向你打招呼，加上优美的自然风光，真的是让人赏心悦目。
Pewley Down连接到旁边Merrow Down及周边的许多开放空间，并在19世纪用作信号灯站和防御性堡垒的所在地。在19世纪末和20世纪初，现在所能看到的许多房屋住宅和公共基础设施都是在这块土地的基础上建造的。
佩夫利山Pewley Down是征服者William授予Testard家族的土地的一部分。它的名字来自于1255年从Richard Testard手中收购的De-La-Puille家族。Puille家族的名字也反映在Poyle庄园和与之相关的慈善机构中。
一个金钟信号灯站于1822年在Pewley Hill建成，是伦敦-朴次茅斯信号灯线的一部分。该建筑物保留下来，当建筑不再作为信号灯功能使用后增盖了一个小型穹顶。1866年，吉尔福德公司（Guildford Corporation）在Pewley Hill的顶部建造了一个新的水库。 Pewley Hill堡垒是伦敦周边防务阵地计划的一部分，于1890年左右建成，从吉尔福德沿North Downs伸展到哈尔斯特德堡，从达伦特山谷至达特福德，从泰晤士河北部至北维尔德。不过该计划并没有被完全落实建成，最终于1906年被放弃。
Pewley Down is a small hill, and also a street so named, located in Guildford of England. It’s a place of truly outstanding natural beauty as the wiki and map states. Gorgeous open park with generally rolling hills, small paths through woods and plentiful picnic areas are combined to make this park become the best place to connect the bustling town and countryside. When sitting down here, you wouldn’t believe that you were a mile from the hustle and bustle town centre of Guildford with its incredible views and tranquil scenery. From here, you can enjoy lovely views across Guildford.
On the other side of the hill, there’s another small valley with lots of views. You can only get into there via cycling or walking as the result of no parking spaces. During the spring and summer there are lots of wildflowers spring into life which make you feel so good. Quite quiet away from everything in the town, it’s also nice to bump into some other visitors here, most of them are very nice mannered. It’s worth going to if you really like nature and walking.
It links to the open space at Pewley Down and was used as the site of a semaphore station and a defensive fort in the nineteenth century. In the late 19th and early 20th century, much of the properties and public facilities were built upon this piece of land.
In history, Pewley Down was part of lands granted by William the Conqueror to the Testard family. It takes its name from the De-La-Puille family who gained it from Richard Testard in 1255. The Puille family name was also reflected in the manor of Poyle and the Poyle Charity.
There’s an Admiralty semaphore station built at Pewley Hill in 1822, which forming part of the London-Portsmouth semaphore line. The building remains, with a cupola on top which was added after the semaphore went out of use. In 1866 Guildford Corporation built a new reservoir at the top of Pewley Hill. Pewley Hill Fort was built in around 1890 as part of the London Defence Positions scheme, running from Guildford along the North Downs to Fort Halstead, up the Darent Valley to Dartford, and north of the Thames to North Weald. The scheme was abandoned in 1906.
