Page 22 1 Conservation, Recreation and Access Report for Year Ending March 2007 Introduction This report aims to inform customers of the resources and pursuits available to them on the lands presently owned or partially maintained by the Company. A summary of the nature and extent of the Company’s landholdings can be found on page 10 of this report. No land used for recreational purposes was sold by the Company during the year. The Company’s land has been used by a variety of different interest groups from the community, for recreational and environmental purposes. There have also been environmental initiatives on non-Company sites. Area of Supply Sutton and East Surrey Water supplies a population of approximately 650,000 within an area of 834 square kilometres in the London Boroughs of Sutton, Merton and Croydon and in East Surrey and West Kent. Across the northern area of supply lies the North Downs, a range of chalk hills, large areas of which are designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Chalk is the most important aquifer in this part of the country and supplied all the water the Company needed until the 1950s with the exception of small greensand sources at Westwood which formerly belonged to the Limpsfield and Oxted Water Company who merged with East Surrey Water in 1930. The greensand ridge lies a few miles south of the North Downs and runs west to east from Dorking to Limpsfield Chart. The greensand is now an important water bearing strata providing the Company with a valuable resource. Boreholes in the chalk and greensand provide 85% of the Company’s water, the remainder coming from a reservoir at Bough Beech which is fed by pumping from the River Eden during the winter. 2 Most of the Company’s land is unsuitable for conservation, recreation and access being urban sites, agricultural land let for grazing or other agricultural use, and sites in areas of outstanding natural beauty, too small in themselves to be of use, which are maintained to blend in with their natural background. Company Sites with Amenity Value Bough Beech reservoir has a nature reserve managed by the Kent Wildlife Trust, sailing run by the Bough Beech Sailing Club, and fishing organised by Honeycroft (BBR). Chiddingstone river intake allows fishing along a stretch of the River Eden and is let to the South Norwood Angling Club. North Looe reservoir has land used by the Nonsuch Bowmen, an archery club, who maintain a full programme of meetings. Fetcham Pond which is situated beside a public footpath is maintained as a visual amenity, and the land nearby is let to the Surrey Society of Model Engineers for a model railway track. 3 Non-Company Sites Carshalton Ponds has been provided with a new concrete base, laid and maintained by the Company. It is a condition of the Company’s abstraction licence for The Oaks borehole that it augments flows into the ponds, as necessary, by recycling water from the River Wandle by means of a pumping station at Goat Bridge. A similar maintenance arrangement exists at Bourne Hall Lake in Ewell, where the lake is linked to the Company’s licence to abstract from a borehole at Nonsuch Park. Both these sites underwent major refurbishment during 1996/7, detailed articles appeared in the report for that year. In 2004 SESW made a donation to the Surrey Wildlife Trust to help in work securing the future of the Godstone Bay Pond. 4 Bough Beech Reservoir and Chiddingstone River Intake The Nature Reserve and Centre The nature reserve occupies about 18 hectares at the northern end of Bough Beech Reservoir. The whole of the reserve can be seen from the causeway at Winkhurst Green, and it continues to be a very popular spot for bird watching. The Bough Beech Centre is a carefully converted 19th century oast house adjacent to the reserve and its informative displays attract thousands of visitors a year. The surrounding farmland, ponds, streams, woods and orchards set the scene for a peaceful and most enjoyable countryside experience. The Centre’s displays include; details of the reservoir, its construction and present day working; information on hop growing and how the oast house was used in the past; how the nature reserve provides habitats for so many resident and visiting birds; and details of the many plants and animals which thrive along the nature trail. The Centre, which is run totally by volunteers from the Kent Wildlife Trust (KWT), is open to the public from April to the end of October on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from 11 am to 4.30 pm. The facilities include toilets, a picnic barn and a small shop, for further details regarding the nature reserve or the work carried out by the KWT their address is detailed inside the back cover. 5 The Company works closely with the KWT and now offer a dual visit for school children. The morning is spent at the nature reserve and Oast House and the afternoon visit is at the reservoir and water treatment works. School visits can be arranged for Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays by pre-booking through the Company’s educational co-ordinator Jenny Gow. A wide variety of activities including pond dipping and bird watching can be arranged. During the last year the Reservoir was visited by 2 unusual birds, one extremely rare in the United Kingdom and the other rare at Bough Beech. The first was a White Pelican of unknown origin which was present from the 30th July to the end of August. If this is a wild bird it is one of the first records in the United Kingdom since 2002. The other ones being in Norfolk and and the only others for Western Europe in 2006 being two in Holland and one further up the Rhine. The second was a Ring Ouzel obviously a passage migrant on the way north to its breeding ground which was briefly seen near the Dam on the 20th April. For further details please send for an Education Services Pack from Jenny Gow whose address is detailed inside the back cover. Sailing Sailing on the reservoir is run by the Bough Beech Sailing Club which leases from the Company a clubhouse which underwent a major refurbishment during 2005. The project was jointly funded by the Sailing Club and the Company and now the clubhouse provides excellent modern facilities. 6 The sailing programme centres around racing for various classes and a handicap fleet on Sundays, with trophies being awarded for success in seasonal series. For classes with a big enough turnout open meetings are held giving an opportunity for helms to sail against visitors on their own water. Saturdays are used mainly for cruising and tuition with opportunities for training activities for juniors or schools to engage in team racing and tactics. The club is a recognised Royal Yachting Association teaching establishment for levels 1 to 5 of the dinghy sailing certificate and up to level 3 for powerboat/rescue coxswain courses. Further information can be obtained from the membership secretary whose address is detailed inside the back cover. 7 Fishing Fishing on the reservoir is organised by Honeycroft (BBR), which is run by Ken Crow who has long experience of running fisheries. Pike fishing took place, as usual, in October. Coarse fishing was undertaken for the rest of the year and the carp fishing is improving year on year. The pike fishing continues to improve and Bough Beech is stil one of the top pike fisheries in the UK. During the winter season eighty five pike were caught weighing over twenty pounds which made it one of the most successful seasons at the reservoir. 8 Project ‘Little Bough’ During the winter months of 2002/3 Fishery Management Student’s, from Hadlow College, assisted Sutton & East Water in restoring a 200 year old clay pond at Bough Beech Reservoir. More details appear in the 2004 report. Further information can be obtained from Ken Crow whose address is detailed inside the back cover. Coarse fishing along the Company's stretch of the River Eden is let to South Norwood Angling Club and further information can be obtained from the Honorary Secretary whose address is detailed inside the back cover. Horse Riding South Eastern Toll Rides are not, for the time being, using the route allowed them near the oast house, due to problems with other parts of their circuit. We look forward to seeing them back. 9 Facilities for the Disabled The Company owns a ‘wheelyboat’ for use on Bough Beech reservoir. This is a boat designed by the Handicapped Anglers Trust which can accommodate two people in their wheelchairs and one other person. Although designed for use by anglers it may be used for bird-watching, photography or just cruising.

BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • Godstone & Tilburstow Hill
    point your feet on a new path Godstone and Tilburstow Hill Distance: 7 km=4½ miles easy walking with some inclines Region: Surrey Date written: 19-nov-2011 Author: Schwebefuss Date revised: 25-feb-2019 Refreshments: Godstone Last update: 19-jul-2021 Map: 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, water, woods, meadows, bluebells in spring In Brief This walk is full of delightful surprises and a few ghostly secrets from history along the way. Because of the good tracks and the sandy paths, it is a good walk at any time of the year, although the tracks in the woodland are drier in summer. In late spring, the forest floors are decked with bluebells. There are no nettles, so shorts and any sensible clothing and footwear are fine, but in winter and early spring, boots are recommended. Your dog is welcome too. The walk begins at the Green in Godstone, Surrey, just off the M25, postcode RH9 8DU . If coming by car, park carefully anywhere round the Green. Note that the free Council car parks only allow three hours’ parking. If every space is full, park on the west side of the Green (Bletchingley Road, then left on Ivy Mill Lane). For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). Godstone has four “pubs” although one, the White Hart , is a Beefeater and another, the Bell , is an upmarket bar-restaurant (albeit with an attractive garden and patio).

  • Penshurst Circular Via Bough Beech Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Penshurst Circular via Bough Beech walk Popular bird-watching site in the Eden Valley and attractive Kent villages Length Main Walk: 21½ km (13.4 miles). Five hours 15 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9½ hours. Short Walk 1, omitting Penshurst village: 15½ km (9.6 miles). Three hours 45 minutes walking time. Short Walk 2, also omitting Chiddingstone: 14¾ km (9.2 miles). Three hours 30 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 147. Penshurst Station (in Chiddingstone Causeway, TQ519467) is in Kent, 7 km W of Tonbridge. Toughness 5 out of 10 (3 for the Short Walks). Features This walk starts through low-lying farmland interspersed with patches of woodland. At Bore Place it makes use of the farm's permissive trails to reach one of the few viewpoints over Bough Beech Reservoir, a large body of water which is surprisingly well screened from public footpaths in the vicinity. The reservoir was created by damming one of the streams flowing down from the Greensand Hills, but is now mostly replenished with water abstracted from the River Eden. The walk continues across the causeway at the northern end of the reservoir where there are good opportunities for bird-watching, but the site's status as a designated nature reserve is uncertain since Kent Wildlife Trust withdrew from its managment in July 2020. After a loop around the western side of the reservoir the walk comes to the first of two possible lunch pubs, in the hamlet of Bough Beech.
