:00:07. > :00:16.What happens when one of the South's busiest roads meets one of the

:00:17. > :00:22.world's busiest landscapes? I can see a worse place.

:00:23. > :00:25.I feel very upset. Also coming up: how people with dementia are using

:00:26. > :00:27.music to help cope with their condition.

:00:28. > :00:31.It makes you feel good to play because they are not worried whether

:00:32. > :00:39.you play the wrong not anything, which happens quite a bit anyway.

:00:40. > :00:42.And butterfly experts and enthusiasts Matthew Oates takes us

:00:43. > :00:48.on a tour of the South. No less than 46 of the 59 species in

:00:49. > :01:00.the UK have been found here. That is mega.

:01:01. > :01:08.First, plans to dig a tunnel to re-route the A303 at Stonehenge have

:01:09. > :01:13.seen some serious opposition not least by the woman who farms the

:01:14. > :01:18.far she has refused to speak out far she has refused to speak out

:01:19. > :01:28.publicly. Until now. We have the story.

:01:29. > :01:39.Stonehenge is one of our top tourist attractions. That noise is the A303,

:01:40. > :01:44.the main route from Cornwall to London.

:01:45. > :01:48.Got 24,000 vehicles a day on this road going up to 30,000 a day in the

:01:49. > :01:53.summer. That is not good for road users, it is not good for local

:01:54. > :01:56.residents or the setting of this world Heritage site.

:01:57. > :02:00.Now a ?1.4 billion scheme to re-route the road through a tunnel

:02:01. > :02:04.and make it a dual carriageway has been given the go-ahead. You would

:02:05. > :02:08.think that was the perfect solution, right?

:02:09. > :02:12.It is a total catastrophe. The plans recommended by highways England and

:02:13. > :02:17.the Government or for an eight metre high flying over just about 300

:02:18. > :02:21.metres from where we're standing. It is a modern scar on an ancient

:02:22. > :02:25.landscape. It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart.

:02:26. > :02:34.So why are they so against the scheme? I have come to watch easy.

:02:35. > :02:40.These artefacts are more than 4000 years old. This dagger is

:02:41. > :02:46.astounding. It is difficult to see but the original had 140,000 tiny

:02:47. > :02:54.gold studs. They were found buried with a bronze age cheating in a

:02:55. > :03:01.grave known... He has become known as Bush Barrow man. The West End of

:03:02. > :03:07.the tunnel is planned to pass close to his grave. These images give us

:03:08. > :03:17.an idea of what is proposed. But what does it look like in real life?

:03:18. > :03:22.I have come to see. This is Rachel. And Bush Barrow is on her farm. It

:03:23. > :03:26.is one of many barrows she looks after. She sees herself as a

:03:27. > :03:30.custodian and has adapted the way she farms around them.

:03:31. > :03:36.Wheatgrass down a proportion of the far end of the farm because there

:03:37. > :03:41.was archaeology. Bush Barrow is in what is known as

:03:42. > :03:46.the down burial cemetery. Is among 40 others here.

:03:47. > :03:50.Bush Barrow is the key monument in this cemetery.

:03:51. > :03:54.Underneath here is still Bush Barrow man.

:03:55. > :03:59.They took all the parts and all the gold and all the exciting bits and

:04:00. > :04:02.pieces, so, yes, it is quite exciting to think that Bush Barrow

:04:03. > :04:06.man are still under our feet. Where is the road going to go?

:04:07. > :04:12.Stonehenge is over there. It will come in a tunnel south of

:04:13. > :04:16.Stonehenge. You can see there, tunnel underneath, it will come out

:04:17. > :04:19.opposite ours where the scores are opposite ours where the scores are

:04:20. > :04:24.on the field. How big a road are we talking about?

:04:25. > :04:28.Massive. For carriageway. People will say you

:04:29. > :04:32.just do not want this on your land. I just think it is just so important

:04:33. > :04:35.that enough consideration is given as to sensitively putting this road

:04:36. > :04:42.in the environment. There's got to be sensitive. Not in front of Bush

:04:43. > :04:48.Barrow man. The high value of gold found in this

:04:49. > :04:52.Barrow make it written's richest bronze Age burial. But there was

:04:53. > :04:56.another place close to the east end of the town of it experts are

:04:57. > :05:04.worried. The damaged by the plan. Until recently, this area of

:05:05. > :05:07.woodland two miles from Stonehenge had largely been ignored by

:05:08. > :05:10.archaeologists. Its true significance is only now being

:05:11. > :05:14.revealed. We have discovered where the

:05:15. > :05:23.communities were living who built the first monuments at Stonehenge

:05:24. > :05:26.under the stone change no. It was about 8000 BC. These communities

:05:27. > :05:33.come back again and again and again all the way through to 4000 BC.

:05:34. > :05:37.This site is not to be the longest continually inhabited place in the

:05:38. > :05:42.UK. David led a team of archaeologists on a date yet in 2014

:05:43. > :05:48.and they found around 32,000 pieces of worked flint and more than 1000

:05:49. > :05:53.pieces of animal bone. But the secret of this place in the water.

:05:54. > :05:57.It is warmed by a natural spring, meaning it's doesn't freeze during

:05:58. > :06:03.the ice age and that brought people to settle here.

:06:04. > :06:10.This is where we have been digging over the last ten years. The basin

:06:11. > :06:15.behind us has got shed loads of this hunter gatherer archaeology in it.

:06:16. > :06:19.So what percentage of those have you actually excavated and found?

:06:20. > :06:24.A tiny percentage. We've got 23 metres square. Everywhere we did

:06:25. > :06:29.here we are finding really important archaeology. It is almost certainly

:06:30. > :06:33.a much bigger complex. There will be a flyover just about 300 metres from

:06:34. > :06:38.where we're standing to the east. There will be eight metres high. If

:06:39. > :06:44.that wasn't bad enough. The road here is going to be banked up

:06:45. > :06:49.another seven metres. All of that logistical work will drain the

:06:50. > :06:52.spring and take down the water table which is preserving all of these

:06:53. > :06:56.objects which are thousands of years old.

:06:57. > :06:58.The road has got to go somewhere, hasn't it?

:06:59. > :07:03.It has got to go somewhere but why does it have to go here? This is one

:07:04. > :07:05.of the most precious landscapes in the world.

:07:06. > :07:11.So what does the man in charge of the road scheme have to say about

:07:12. > :07:15.David and Rachel's beers? My team have visited the site with

:07:16. > :07:18.him to see what he's saying. Across the road from here we have

:07:19. > :07:22.got Bush Barrow and the owner of the land says having the tunnel will

:07:23. > :07:25.actually impact on the world Heritage site.

:07:26. > :07:29.I've met her. We're listening to what she's saying, we're listening

:07:30. > :07:33.to all the other 9000 bits of correspondence we had to

:07:34. > :07:36.consultation. Would you change your plans if it

:07:37. > :07:39.does not work out? We are still in consultation and we

:07:40. > :07:45.are analysing those consultations and taking a view on the best way

:07:46. > :07:50.forward. Earlier this month more than 20

:07:51. > :07:53.eminent archaeologists and historians registered their

:07:54. > :07:56.objections to the scheme. They echoed those of Rachel and Professor

:07:57. > :08:01.Jacks but there are also concerned Jacks but there are also concerned

:08:02. > :08:06.that the tunnel entrance new to Bush Barrow would destroy the views of

:08:07. > :08:10.the winter sunset, now thought to be fundamental to the stone's

:08:11. > :08:14.positioning. The final plan for the proposed tunnel is expected in the

:08:15. > :08:25.autumn. Building work is scheduled to start in 2020.

:08:26. > :08:31.A little later on we will update you on one of the stories we have

:08:32. > :08:34.brought you here on Inside Out. Also under way, our special bond with

:08:35. > :08:45.these little beauties. Butterflies need us and need them.

:08:46. > :08:49.Next, the power of music really can be quite remarkable. As one group of

:08:50. > :08:55.people in Dorset has been finding out. Mark that plays the violin with

:08:56. > :09:01.the Bournemouth University dementia Institute Orchestra. We dropped in

:09:02. > :09:07.on rehearsals. Let's do Bolero. We have got the

:09:08. > :09:21.concert next week on we? We will play this on the concert. Shall we

:09:22. > :09:35.play some music? Top string. So, it goes...

:09:36. > :09:44.Welcome to my Orchestra. Some of us have dementia and some of us are

:09:45. > :09:48.carers. Great. Fantastic. That is Joe and

:09:49. > :09:57.David. Their partners do not come any more but they still join us

:09:58. > :10:02.every week. It is all a bit emotional for me at

:10:03. > :10:08.the moment. I am sorry. I lost my husband a year ago tomorrow. But he

:10:09. > :10:23.loved it, absolutely loved it. Didn't he? That's why I still come.

:10:24. > :10:34.My wife came up until the end of the year. She is too ill now to come but

:10:35. > :10:45.she spent every session just smiling and lifted by the whole thing. Great

:10:46. > :10:48.to see her enjoying it. We have become like a family,

:10:49. > :10:53.really, now. We don't want to give it up.

:10:54. > :10:59.It is astonishing how it brings us all together.

:11:00. > :11:05.There is me and my husband Mike. Can you guess which of us has dementia?

:11:06. > :11:10.That is one of the best things about the orchestra. When we are playing,

:11:11. > :11:14.all of that melts away. You see, dementia is difficult but it does

:11:15. > :11:20.not mean you cannot have fun or take on new challenges. Even the violin.

:11:21. > :11:25.One lady this week, she was thoroughly enjoying it. Her face

:11:26. > :11:34.major turnaround of the guitar. And it was lovely. We are able to chat

:11:35. > :11:43.together and swap, you know, how was your husband? Reassure each other

:11:44. > :11:49.that not alone. What is happening, we are not imagining it, it is part

:11:50. > :11:55.of the problem that we have. Everybody is so nice and also a lot

:11:56. > :12:03.of them are in the same boat as what I am. But luckily, only got its

:12:04. > :12:12.light at the moment. And just keeping my fingers crossed it's

:12:13. > :12:20.doesn't get any worse. It can be very annoying because you try and

:12:21. > :12:27.remember things and unfortunately unless it stands out, I'm afraid it

:12:28. > :12:39.goes to the back of your mind and it can be quite annoying, I can assure

:12:40. > :12:42.you. May she feel good. Because they are not worried about whether you

:12:43. > :12:54.play the wrong note anything, which happens quite a bit, anyway.

:12:55. > :12:58.Hillary also has the early stages of dementia. She does not let it get

:12:59. > :13:04.her down. I was talking to the consultant and

:13:05. > :13:09.I said, I keep losing memory, you know. I can't remember people's

:13:10. > :13:20.names and it is not that bad. I was borderline. And they said, well, and

:13:21. > :13:25.I said, can I have a scan? I said want to know what is going on. Not

:13:26. > :13:29.sitting thinking, I just forget things. And they found that the

:13:30. > :13:38.brain was... Shrinking, did he say?

:13:39. > :13:43.When I see the poor people at the University I think how sad for them

:13:44. > :13:48.because it must be a long time. They don't speak but they can smile a

:13:49. > :13:51.little bit, you know. They don't have a conversation. You just can't

:13:52. > :13:57.realise how they think about it or what they feel. It is just something

:13:58. > :14:07.that is there. Several times through the week

:14:08. > :14:11.Hillary will start chanting. I sleep and think about it. It is

:14:12. > :14:14.not a thing that has happened on the day. We think about it other times

:14:15. > :14:24.during the week. This is the last time. Fantastic,

:14:25. > :14:31.well done, everybody. Today is a big day. We are putting

:14:32. > :14:34.on a concert for a live audience. We perform regularly to prove to others

:14:35. > :14:43.what people with dementia are capable of. Learning, performing and

:14:44. > :14:48.drawing crowds. We might not be the greatest musicians but with the

:14:49. > :14:57.professionals alongside as we do make a good sound.

:14:58. > :15:00.Sometimes it goes wrong and it sounds better, if you know what I

:15:01. > :15:12.mean. And we think, oh, can we keep that in? Inevitably, it will go

:15:13. > :15:19.wrong. Because people are constrained they'd not been through

:15:20. > :15:23.that whole process. But this extraordinary moment of musical

:15:24. > :15:31.magic will come out and things will be brilliant.

:15:32. > :15:36.Uplifting, that is all I can say. It really does a lot for you. Because

:15:37. > :15:43.it makes you forget, or you don't think about what is happening. It

:15:44. > :15:48.has brought me out a lot more. I'm not so withdrawn or anything like

:15:49. > :15:52.that. I'm going to go on as long as I can I don't know what is going to

:15:53. > :15:59.happens I just lived like to the full in that respect.

:16:00. > :16:04.You can't tell from his drumming his ukelele but Richard is the player

:16:05. > :16:07.with the most advanced dementia. If we are doing anything he just

:16:08. > :16:13.sits on a chair, head on a chair, head-on chest and nods. It is just

:16:14. > :16:19.so awful. It can be tough. It can be tough. I get quite emotional at

:16:20. > :16:26.times. I could now but I won't let myself. Just not strong mentally,

:16:27. > :16:32.and that isn't me, but it is the situation we are in. It's not one

:16:33. > :16:37.you expect. It is very debilitating illness. The website everything,

:16:38. > :16:44.wipes all memories. Holidays, nice times you have had, all gone. He is

:16:45. > :16:49.a lovely man. So, yeah, we're just glad to be together.

:16:50. > :16:55.It is a bit worrying for both of us if we see one that is really further

:16:56. > :17:01.on and you think, oh, help. I hope not. Very difficult. You

:17:02. > :17:08.surmise that you are going to be like that later. I try not to think

:17:09. > :17:28.about that. APPLAUSE

:17:29. > :17:32.Finally, it is just over 250 years since the famous naturalist Gilbert

:17:33. > :17:36.White recorded the first butterfly in Hampshire.

:17:37. > :17:40.And that is a good enough excuse to ask expats Matthew Oates to tell us

:17:41. > :17:55.more about these colourful wonders of nature. -- expert.

:17:56. > :18:03.Butterflies captivated me as a child and that fascination blossomed and

:18:04. > :18:06.became my life's work. They have been admired, collected and called

:18:07. > :18:15.it in southern England for 250 years. Each some Al-Qaeda visit as

:18:16. > :18:20.many of the special places in which our rarer butterflies occur. To date

:18:21. > :18:30.as a place of pilgrimage for a naturalist. They are attracted here

:18:31. > :18:34.by the living memory of the Reverend Gilbert White, the forefather of

:18:35. > :18:39.natural history. This is where it all started. The first record for a

:18:40. > :18:46.butterfly in Hampshire was of a male brimstone, seen on the 8th of March

:18:47. > :18:52.1766 by the Reverend Gilbert White, here in Selbourne in Hampshire.

:18:53. > :18:56.White regarded the brimstone as being the harbinger of spring and

:18:57. > :19:03.even today it is a butterfly which people diligently look out for on

:19:04. > :19:06.the first warm days of spring. There are other familiar butterflies. We

:19:07. > :19:17.may not know all of their names but we know them for what they are. The

:19:18. > :19:25.souls of summer hours. I'm talking about garden butterflies like the

:19:26. > :19:28.peacocks, small daughter -- tortoiseshell. Many of them are

:19:29. > :19:37.specialists of central southern England. The dazzling names and

:19:38. > :19:40.belonged to strange named families like the skippers, which are fiery

:19:41. > :19:53.darts that was around at great speed. A rather elusive one. On the

:19:54. > :20:02.Downs there are the exquisite blues, beautiful blue butterflies. And in

:20:03. > :20:07.the woods, the big, bold and brassy ones. Many of these butterflies are

:20:08. > :20:12.really quite rare and restricted to certain places due to their specific

:20:13. > :20:17.needs and some of those places have become our nature preserves. Just

:20:18. > :20:24.outside the village of Selbourne is this nature reserve, which is one of

:20:25. > :20:29.the richest and best loved butterfly localities in the British Isles. No

:20:30. > :20:34.less than 46 of the 50 species of butterfly that have recorded

:20:35. > :20:46.regularly in the UK have been found here within the last 40 years. That

:20:47. > :20:51.is mega. Butterflies love hot sunny weather in spring and summer. 40

:20:52. > :20:57.years ago of course it was the long hot summer of 1976 and be briefly

:20:58. > :21:01.experienced the Mediterranean climate. The butterflies that year

:21:02. > :21:07.and found it. They are creatures of the sun. One particular sun loving

:21:08. > :21:15.speciality is stand-up Nortel during the spring. Grace, the Duke of

:21:16. > :21:18.Burgundy. I've spent many years studying this little butterfly. It

:21:19. > :21:23.is a bug and a bully boy but it is one of my favourites. If you spend

:21:24. > :21:30.carefully you may find the chick and carefully you may find the chick and

:21:31. > :21:35.the Duchess together. As soon as she is ready to fly, the Duchess of

:21:36. > :21:41.Burgundy will gravitate into a male territory. There she will be

:21:42. > :21:47.ardently and instantly mated. There is no courtship in this species

:21:48. > :21:54.whatsoever. Crucially, each species of butterfly needs a certain plants

:21:55. > :22:10.PCs on which to latex. And how Grace needs cowslips and primroses. Here

:22:11. > :22:15.in the Forest, the Duke of Burgundy became extinct three or four decades

:22:16. > :22:22.ago but for about 150 years, the new Forest was the Premier locality in

:22:23. > :22:26.Britain for butterfly collecting. And the old collectors during the

:22:27. > :22:31.Victorian and Edwardian era is in particular and way into the 1950s

:22:32. > :22:38.and early 1960s, used to come here in droves. Particularly in July.

:22:39. > :22:48.the silver washed to Tillery and the the silver washed to Tillery and the

:22:49. > :22:59.cream-coloured ones. And they collected draw. The Cabinet. And

:23:00. > :23:05.they reside still in museums today. Servicing the collecting obsession

:23:06. > :23:11.was a major local industry in the forest for about 150 years in terms

:23:12. > :23:18.of providing board and lodging, food and drink, transport and guides and

:23:19. > :23:28.also dealers and breeders who sold unusual specimens dead or alive too

:23:29. > :23:32.often rather gullible collectors. In bygone days, many of the new Forest

:23:33. > :23:43.Woods looked like this. Butterfly paradise.

:23:44. > :23:50.After the First World War, many of the new Forest Oak Woods were felled

:23:51. > :23:56.and be placed with fast-growing non-native conifers in their

:23:57. > :23:59.glorious cultural experiment of which have butterflies were

:24:00. > :24:07.unscheduled victims. The coroner for woods are too shady and otherwise

:24:08. > :24:12.unsuitable for most butterflies. National policy has now changed,

:24:13. > :24:17.gloriously. The policy to restore broad leave woodland long-term and

:24:18. > :24:24.also to remove altogether some conifer plantations and restore the

:24:25. > :24:33.land to open heathland. The open eaves of the new Forest are renowned

:24:34. > :24:38.for their specialist flora and fauna which includes the exquisite

:24:39. > :24:43.minuscule silver studded blue a South park jewel of a little

:24:44. > :24:51.butterfly. There is much we can do to help our garden butterflies.

:24:52. > :24:56.These are highly mobile creatures that drift around the countryside

:24:57. > :25:00.and the towns constantly seeking new places in which to breed and it is

:25:01. > :25:06.really important to give them feeding stations along their way.

:25:07. > :25:13.And there is no better way of doing it than by grabbing but he is.

:25:14. > :25:23.Growing this type of flower. There are even tiny patio varieties and

:25:24. > :25:28.they work. They attract butterflies and at night, moths. Mobility is

:25:29. > :25:29.everything to butterflies and wildlife friendly gardening really

:25:30. > :25:48.does help that. Butterfly populations boom and bust

:25:49. > :25:53.and ebb and flow according to the weather. But if we have learned

:25:54. > :25:58.anything about butterflies, if the last 250 years, it is that we love

:25:59. > :26:03.them, we care deeply about them. We value them for their beauty, for the

:26:04. > :26:20.special places they take us to and as symbols of freedom. Butterflies

:26:21. > :26:25.need us and we need them. Feels like spring is finally here.
