  • Habitat Advisory Visit to the Byne Brook, Shropshire
    HABITAT ADVISORY VISIT TO THE BYNE BROOK, SHROPSHIRE. UNDERTAKEN BY VAUGHAN LEWIS, WINDRUSH AEC LTD ON BEHALF OF MIDLAND FLYFISHERS APRIL 2007 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd to the Byne Brook, a small tributary stream of the River Onny, near Craven Arms, Shropshire. The visit was undertaken on behalf of the Wild Trout Trust. Information contained within the report was obtained from observations on the day of the site visits and from discussions with Richard Garland. 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. The Byne Brook had generally good instream habitat. Gradient was steep, with an abundance of pools, deep/shallow glides and riffles suitable for all lifestages of brown trout Salmo trutta. The river had a meandering course, through moderately wooded banks. There was abundant Large Woody Debris (LWD) in the channel, which in conjunction with undercut banks, extensive tree root systems and deep pools, provided excellent cover for trout and other fish species. Substrate was a mix of cobbles, gravel and sand eroded from the very friable banks. Towards the upper end of the fishery, a number of alder Alnus glutinosa trees had been coppiced on the RB. This had reduced shading of the channel significantly. The coppice stools had been protected from cattle grazing by the erection of electric fencing, allowing for new tree growth to take place. There was fencing along some sections of the fishery, effectively preventing stock grazing and poaching the riverbank.

  • A Geological Trail in Front of the Last Glacier in South Shropshire By
    A Geological Trail in front of the last glacier in South Shropshire By Michael Rosenbaum Figure 1. General view looking north from Mortimer Forest towards Onibury (centre top), across the sandur (fluvioglacial outwash plain) created by the melting of glaciers that came from Wales, eastwards over Clun Forest. One glacial lobe is believed to have come eastwards through the col by Downton Castle (to the left of the above view) and perhaps terminated in the centre of the field of view. Another lobe reached Craven Arms and perhaps then turned southwards towards Onibury (in the centre distance). This landscape has also been modified by erosion as the River Teme, diverted eastwards from Aymestry by a major glacier coming from the Wye Valley to the south, rejuvenated erosion and transportation of weathered material from the Silurian mudstones that underlie the lower ground in the field of view. These alluvial processes were significantly assisted by periglacial weathering, especially solifluction, leaving behind an intricate pattern of small curved steep-sided valleys.
