  • River Test – Tufton
    River Test – Tufton An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – April 2009 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the River Test at Tufton near Whitchurch in Hampshire. The advisory visit was carried out at the request of the Hampshire Wildlife Trust. The Trust is looking at various options for enhancing local biodiversity and exploring possible habitat enhancement opportunities under Higher Level Stewardship agreements with the landowners. 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. Catchment overview The River Test is nationally recognised as the quintessential chalk river and is designated for most of its length as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The Test has a world-wide reputation for being a first class trout (Salmo trutta) fishery. Much of the middle and lower river is heavily stocked with hatchery derived trout to support intense angling activity. Where good quality habitats are maintained the river has the capacity to produce viable numbers of wild fish. A major bottleneck to enhanced wild production is thought to be through poor in- gravel egg survival. Comparatively small areas of nursery habitat also restrict the development of wild stocks. Where decent habitats are found and preserved, survival rates of fry are usually superb due to rapid growth rates. Habitat quality on the Test varies enormously. The river channels are virtually all heavily modified, artificial and originally constructed for power generation or water meadow irrigation.

  • River Kennet – Craven Fishery
    River Kennet – Craven Fishery An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust November 2014 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a site meeting and walk-over survey of the Craven Fishery on the River Kennet at Hampstead Marshall in Berkshire. The request for the visit came from the owner of the fishery, Mr. Richard White. Mr. White is keen to explore opportunities to enhance and improve the fishery. The quality of the fishery, and in particular water quantity and quality have been in steady decline over the last 25 years and is thought to be linked to a combination of factors, including the restoration and re-opening of the Kennet and Avon Canal, increased abstraction pressures at Axford and the arrival of non-native signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. White and the river keeper Mr. Geoff Trotman 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. Map 1 Craven Fishery 2 The Craven fishery lies just downstream from a short section of combined river and navigation channel. The river and canal converge below Copse Lock and separate at the head of the Craven Fishery at NGR SU 421679. Through the Craven Fishery, the river channel runs parallel with the Kennet and Avon Canal before the two channels re-join near the bottom boundary of the fishery at SU 431667. The fishery itself consists of a section of main-river and a shorter section of milling channel.

  • White Horse Trail Directions – Westbury to Redhorn Hill
    White Horse Trail Route directions (anti-clockwise) split into 10 sections with an alternative for the Cherhill to Alton Barnes section, and including the “short cut” between the Pewsey and Alton Barnes White Horses S1 White Horse Trail directions – Westbury to Redhorn Hill [Amended on 22/5, 26/5 and 27/5/20] Maps: OS Explorer 143, 130, OS Landranger 184, 173 Distance: 13.7 miles (21.9 km) The car park above the Westbury White Horse can be reached either via a street named Newtown in Westbury, which also carries a brown sign pointing the way to Bratton Camp and the White Horse (turn left at the crossroads at the top of the hill), or via Castle Road in Bratton, both off the B3098. Go through the gate by the two information boards, with the car park behind you. Go straight ahead to the top of the escarpment in the area which contains two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below. Go down steps and through the gate to the right and after approx. 10m, before you have reached the White Horse, turn right over a low bank between two tall ramparts. Climb up onto either of them and walk along it, parallel to the car park. This is the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp/Castle. Turn left off it at the end and go over the stile or through the gate to your right, both of which give access to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
