The Solent Way, Lymington to Beaulieu Distance: 10 miles Start: Lymington The Solent Way is a 60-mile long-distance coastal walking route from the seaside town of Milford-on-Sea past the hustle and bustle of seafronts, quiet yachting harbours, deserted marshland and saltings to finish at Emsworth Harbour. The Way has been divided into 8 sections, each providing a really good day out. Choose between deserted coastal marshes or promenades and candy-floss, seaside picnics or cosy riverside pubs, and shingle beaches with exhilarating views. There are castles and forts to explore, ships, submarines and museums to visit - and always with the smell and sound of the sea beside you. Walk past some of the finest marshes and lagoons in the south with rare species to look for such as foxtail stonewart, lagoon shrimp and starlet sea anemone. The route is well waymarked with a Tern on a green arrow and is shown on Ordnance Survey maps Explorer OL22, 119 and 120 at 1:25 000 scale and indicated on these maps with a green diamond and the name of the route (Solent Way). Directions Cross Lymington River and head inland, with occasional glimpses of the Solent through the trees. Continue into the New Forest to Sowley Pond. Then along the lanes and curl inland to Buckler's Hard village on the Beaulieu River. There is a fragment of an 18th century village remaining here, and a Maritime Museum that tells the story of shipbuilding at Buckler's Hard. Follow the route inland up the east bank of the river to arrive at the Montagu Arms pub in Beaulieu. .

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

Case Study 3D – Solent and Isle of Wight, Uk
Archaeology, Art & Coastal Heritage: Tools to Support Coastal Management (Arch-Manche) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CASE STUDY 3D – SOLENT AND ISLE OF WIGHT, UK Case Study Area: Solent and Isle of Wight, UK Main geomorphological types: Soft chalk and weak sandstone clifflines, coastal landslide systems, shingle and sandy beaches, tidal estuaries, dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats Main coastal change processes: Cliff erosion, coastal landsliding, beach erosion, sea flooding. Primary resources used: Art, Archaeology, historic photographs, maps and charts. Summary: The Solent and Isle of Wight coastlines are very varied and include exposed as well as sheltered frontages. They offer an excellent range of sites suitable in terms of illustrating historical coastal change processes. The area also has an extensive and unique archaeological and palaeoenvironmental record demonstrating these processes over the last 10,000 years. Recommendations: Coastal managers should use these resources when predicting future rates of erosion, they provide thousands of years’ worth of data to assist in the understanding of the rate and scale of change. Further work is required in order to model these changes across the region, combining the rich archaeological record with art, photographs and maps. Coastal managers face an ongoing battle to moderate impacts from the sea in the face of a changing climate and pressures from human use of the coastal zone. The challenges that lie ahead are forecast to increase while resources are being forced to go further. The Solent and Isle of Wight is one of six UK case study areas for the Arch-Manche project. This case study report introduces the study area and why it was chosen as part of the project, the results of the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental study are then presented along with the results of the art, photos, and maps and charts studies.

Solent Nutrient Advice
Version 2 – June 2020 Natural England SUMMARY ADVICE ON ACHIEVING NUTRIENT NEUTRALITY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOLENT REGION SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The water environment within the Solent region is one of the most important for wildlife in the United Kingdom. There are high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (FAQ7) input to this water environment with sound evidence that these nutrients are polluting protected sites. 1.2 Through their wastewater effluent; future developments have the potential to make these impacts worse. Nutrient neutrality is one way of ensuring that development does not add to the existing nutrient load and this provides the certainty needed to meet the legal framework (FAQ1). 1.3 This summary report sets out how to calculate nutrient neutrality for developments within Solent catchments. It is accompanied by a Frequently Asked Questions (Annex A) and links to these questions are included throughout this report. 1.4 The type and location of each development will confirm whether nutrient neutrality is needed (FAQ2). If nutrient neutrality is required, a 4 stage process can be completed, as summarised below in Figure 1. This approach focusses on developments that drain to the mains network. If the development drains to non- mains systems e.g. Package Treatment Plants (PTP) then a bespoke calculation for Stage 1 is required (FAQ3). 1.5 This methodology is based on best available scientific knowledge, and will be subject to revision as further evidence is obtained. It has been developed as a pragmatic tool however for each aspect there is a degree of uncertainty. It is our advice to local planning authorities to take a precautionary approach in line with existing legislation and case-law when addressing uncertainty and calculating nutrient budgets.

The Lymington River – Boldre
The Lymington River – Boldre An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – December 2008 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the Lymington River at Boldre in the New Forest, Hampshire. The water is in the ownership of the Barker Mill Estates and has not been used or actively managed as a fishery for a number of years. The report covers a stretch of approximately 800m of double bank fishing from Boldre Bridge downstream. The bottom boundary is approximately 2km upstream of the tidal hatches in Lymington. This report was carried out at the request of Kit Layman. Mr Layman is acting as an advisor to the Barker Mill family and is seeking to ensure that the river is well managed and reaches its full fishery potential. The bottom boundary of the fishery at Boldre Bridge is immediately upstream of waters controlled by the Brockenhurst and Manor Fly Fishing Club (BMFFC). The BMFFC have controlled fishing rights over a long stretch of the Lymington River for many years. The club have expressed an interest in leasing the rights from the Barker Mill Estate and were represented during the site visit by the club’s treasurer Mr David Sargeaunt. The comments and recommendations made in this report are based on the observations of the Trust’s Conservation Officer, Andy Thomas and discussions with Mr Layman, representing the fishery owners and Mr Sargeaunt from the BMFFC. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream 2.

The Evolution of the Beaulieu Drainage-System in the Southeastern New Forest (Hampshire)
The Evolution of the Beaulieu Drainage-system in the Southeastern New Forest (Hampshire) • ;• • •• by W. E. TREMLETT • . ABSTRACT. 'Mapping of geomorphological features arid drift deposits in the southeastern New Forest reveals that the present Beauleiu drainage-system has arisen from a large number of river-captures. An essentially eastward-flowing drainage-system towards the Southampton Water persisted, until after the 70-foot erosion cycle, and it was only in the interval between 70-foot times and 35-foot times or in the early part of the 35-fpot erosion cycle that capture by southward-flowing streams diverted the drainage towards the south coast. '.,.'_ . INTRODUCTION. ESEARCH on the evolution of the Beaulieu river-system was .undertaken, because4he extensive drift deposits of the Nature Reserve in the Matley and Denny area, south-east R of Lyndhurst (Tremlett 1961) yielded information which did not agree with published views on the evolution of the drainage-pattern (Everard 1957). It was, however, necessary to increase the area of investigation before the history of river-development could be com pletely understood, and mapping was extended to cover the area east of gridline 290 and south of gridline 110. The information discovered in this extension of area accords with conclusions expressed in the author's previous work—that much of the topography of this area was moulded in erosion- cycles that correspond to the 70-foot and 35-foot sea-levels recognised by Everard (1954B). Following the development of a mature valley-system in 70-foot times,-extensive sheets of gravel (some of the Higher Gravels of the Matley-Denny area1) were deposited ..within the valleys (and on the neighbouring wave-cut surface Everard 1954B, Fig.
