Masterplaning..

I did a really dodgy sketch in the tutorial looking at masterplanning the site, but I was mainly just forcing myself to put out on paper what was in my head rather than not drawing anything and continually reading.

They're the main things that I'm going to implement in Woodfordia and the main things I believe it needs: festival space, accommodation, education, soil restoration and improvement, agriculture and wetland space.

I divided them by the prospective uses of the current site, the SW of the site is already setup for terraced living, and with a small lake it could be a nice settlement, also along the south is acidic soil so is perfect for building on but I also want to implement a program of soil restoration, for both an educational benefit and soil health. I made the educational areas centralised for obvious reasons and the wetland farming over where there is another dammed area. Similarly the festival site can remain where it is, with the natural amphitheatre setups and easy access.

I then transferred my ideas onto a bit of trace over the map to give it a proper context and look at whether my ideas would actually work.

  

It's a reasonable start to begin looking into land allocation with enough area for agriculture and festival needs.
