The Parsonage
WELCOME TO THE PARSONAGE Dear Angler, Welcome to The Parsonage and your fishing on the River Test. By now I hope you are relaxed, reading this with a cup of coffee and preparing for a great fishing day. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and it flows through downland from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. Ron Broomfield The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town River Keeper of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning in a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton, to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed and then you are on The Parsonage beat. Below us are the grounds of Roke Manor, Greatbridge and the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, is Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton. -
Get out and Walk a Visitors’ Guide to Exploring Test Valley
Get out and walk A visitors’ guide to exploring Test Valley Produced by Test Valley Borough Council in association with Hampshire County Council Countryside Service and the Hampshire Ramblers. 2 Test Valley is fortunate not only to have the longest river in Hampshire, beautiful countryside, a host of charming villages but also 500 miles of rights of way and fantastic open spaces to explore. Danebury Hillfort is owned by Hampshire County Council and Chilbolton Common by the Parish Council. Stockbridge Down, Stockbridge Marsh, Plaitford Common and Mottisfont House are owned by the National Trust. Broughton Down, a local nature reserve and Harewood Forest add ecological and historical Stcid Dw fascination and should not be missed. Msf H Danebury Hillfort 3 Whether you are visiting Test Valley, or already live here, this guide will help you make the most of the countless opportunities to explore the area on foot. It will also point you in the direction for many other walks. DID YOU KNOW Test Valley has more Iron Age Hillforts than anywhere else in Hampshire? Scan the horizon from the vantage of Danebury Hill. On a clear day, it is said you can see at least 5 other hillforts, including Bury Hill to the north, Quarley in the west and Woolbury on Stockbridge Down to the east. All of these fascinating places are accessible to you. Imagine what it may have been like thousands of years ago when Test Valley was a very different place. Its two Roman roads, The Icknield Way and Portway, cast striking lines on the map and are traced in today’s landscape by footpaths, hedgelines and banks. -

River Dun – Dunerley, Dunbridge
River Dun – Dunerley, Dunbridge Advisory Visit January 2019 Key Findings • This section of the River supports a diverse range of high- quality habitat suitable for maintaining a wild trout and grayling fishery. • The side stream loop and shallow gravel runs near the top boundary are particularly important as spawning and nursery sites, which are of critical value to the whole fishery. • Tree work to tall, leggy alder trees is recommended. Material won from these works could usefully be used to enhance in- river habitat quality via the use of tree hinges, sweepers, cover logs and flow deflectors. • In the more open sections, alternative native tree species such as goat willow and hawthorn should be planted to promote low-level marginal cover. • Block stones in the low summer weir could be redistributed to improve upstream habitat. • The section of high right bank bordered by a clipped alder hedge could be reprofiled to create a more valuable chalk stream margin. • Dunerley might sustain a viable wild fishery, without the need for stocking with farm-reared trout. This option will not necessarily be a popular move for all the visiting rods and will require a change of emphasis with the management regime. 1 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to a 1 km reach of the River Dun, near Dunbridge in Hampshire. The request for the visit came from Mr. Mike Harrison who is the riparian owner of the right bank of the river. Mr. Harrison currently lets the fishing rights through a chalkstream fly fishing agency and enjoys a good working relationship with the National Trust, who own sections of the opposite left bank. -

LCT10 Open Chalklands
LCT10 Open Chalklands General Description The Open Chalklands landscape character type is a large scale arable landscape, characteristic of the most extensively farmed chalkland areas, where the chalk geology is generally not masked by the deposit of Clay with Flints. The hedgerow structure is fragmented and commonly replaced by fences, adding to the open landscape character. A limited number of small hedged pasture fields are found adjacent settlements and farmsteads. Blocks or belts of trees occasionally break up this open landscape, but are infrequent with isolated woodlands often found adjacent to farmsteads. Small streams or winter bournes divide the type but generally it is noted for its dry valleys. The settlement pattern is scattered and dominated by large farms. There is an occasional large house with parkland found sited within a dry valley. A pattern of right angled roads, often running straight for considerable distances and with wide verges, is typical of the Open Chalklands landscape type. Location Open Chalklands are located within the central area of the Test Valley, mainly north of Broughton Down and around the southern edge of Andover. These Test Valley Landscape Character Assessment 2004 (updated 2018) LCT10: 1 areas are divided by the River Test and its tributaries and the winterbourne valleys. Within the Test Valley Borough there are 7 Landscape Character Areas as follows: LCA10A East Dean Chalk Downland LCA10B King’s Sombourne Chalk Downland LCA10C Thruxton and Danebury Chalk Downland LCA10D Leckford and Chilbolton Downs LCA10E Drayton Chalk Downland LCA10F Andover Chalk Downland LCA10G Cholderton Downs Physical Influences Geology and soils: Chalk with loamy and clayey soils. -
