Introduction to the Manifold & Hamps Valleys Similar to the Masson Hill audit, this document started out as an SSSI management plan, but was was renamed an area conservation audit to more accurately reflect its purpose. The study area extends for some 10 km from Warslow and Ecton in the north along the valley of the River Manifold, (originally known as the Manyfold (65) due to it's many twists and turns), to Ilam in the south-east, the valley of the River Hamps to Waterhouses in the south and eastwards towards the northem end of the Dove Valley in Beresford Dale. Situated at the south-west extremity of the Peak District Carboniferous Limestone massif the area is of national importance for a range of features of geological interest including karst landforms, (such as that at Apes Tor near Ecton), limestone rock formations and cave fossil deposits; together with extensive ancient semi-natural woodlands, scrub communities and grasslands. The area also supports an outstanding assemblage of nationally rare and locally uncommon plants together with important invertebrate communities, most notably of ground beetles, butterflies and moths. Much of the area has been designated an SSSI and in addition, the area contains a significant number of scheduled monuments. Some of the area around Ecton Hill has been designated an SSSI in its own right, including the land above Dale Mine. Although not one of the more popular areas for recreational cavers, the Manifold & Hamps Valley area contains a large number of caves and mines of various sizes and character. A good days caving can be had in the area visiting a number of the sites during the day, especially during the summer months when the beds of both rivers are largely dry. The mines are of particular interest to those people with an interest in mining history. The current number of underground sites publically identified and associated with the two SSSI's is about 50. Adding in the caves related by hydrology or similar gives over 60 sites. If the Ecton Mines, Bincliff Mines and Ilam Risings are broken down into individual sites within each group there over 85 individual sites. This does not include numerous less significant sites in the area. Examples of sites not actually within either SSSI, but hydrologically or otherwise associated with caves or mines within it are Gateham and Plantation Swallets near Wetton, Deepdale Shacks near Grindon, Waterways Swallet at Swinscoe and Robin's Shaft Mine near Ilam to name just a few. There are related sites even further away such as Wetstones Swallet on the Weaver Hills. Then there are also numerous old mine shafts scattered about on the surrounding hilltops about which little is known. 2. The Audit Caves and mines are a valuable resource for many reasons, an integral part of our national heritage and we have a moral duty to conserve them for future generations. The purpose of this audit therefore is to:- Improve awareness of the need for cave and mine conservation in the area. List all the more important sites in the area whether natural or man-made. Summarise what is known about them and what speleological or archaeological potential there might be in each one. Consideration is given to any potential threats to individual sites and any conservation measures that might help preserve them. In identifying these sites the audit can facilitate the production of more detailed Conservation Plans for individual sites where it is considered appropriate and also set up a mechanism to ensure that their condition is regularly monitored so that timely and appropriate action can be taken to initiate remedial conservation measures if necessary. The area covered by this audit is shown in figure 1, (see next page), and does not confine itself solely to the area covered by the SSSI Site Notifications, but also includes other associated sites some of which are mentioned above. - 7 - A Cave and Mine Conservation Audit for the Manifold & Hamps Valley Area Fig. 1.

The features of water-worn limestone (karst) extend throughout the river valleys and there are classical rock exposures showing the way in which the limestone was formed. There are examples of re-distributed Iimestone scree from the post-glacial period and caves containing important fossil animal remains.

  • Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25Th March, 2019
    Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25th March, 2019 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) to the River Manifold near Longnor, Staffordshire, on 25th March, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with members of Derbyshire County Angling Club (DCAC). This section of the River Manifold has been the subject of a previous WTT Advisory Visit (2007) and practical habitat improvement works by WTT and Trent Rivers Trust around 2008 – 2010. The habitat works were the subject of a scientific study of invertebrate populations (Everall et al., 2012). In 2011, a study was carried out by Loughborough University on behalf of Natural England, looking at the physical characteristics of rivers in the Upper Dove catchment, including the River Manifold (Rice & Toone, 2011). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Manifold is a tributary of the River Dove, rising at Flash Head and joining the Dove at Ilam. The upper reaches flow over geology dominated by sandstones and undifferentiated silt/mudstones, predominantly of the Millstone Grit series and Bowland Formation; these rocks weather easily producing finer clastic sediments (cobbles, gravels, sand). Further downstream below Ecton, the geology is predominantly limestone, which is more resistant but soluble, producing classic karst features including subterranean drainage and dry valleys; this results in the river between Wetton Mill and Ilam being seasonally dry (Rice & Toone, 2011).

  • Local Environment Agency Pi
    local environment agency pi DOVE ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AUGUST 1999 Ashbourne Dove LEAP Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental , issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment.

  • The Walk Starts and Ends at Wetton Mill, Where There Are Public Toilets and a Café
    Wetton Mill Circular Let's Go Peak District Route Summary This circular walk is simply stunning, offering some of the very best views of the Staffordshire Peak District countryside. Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 7.700 km / 4.81 mi Last Modified: 18th July 2019 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Moderate Date Published: 18th July 2019 Description This circular walk is simply stunning, offering some of the very best views of the Staffordshire Peak District countryside. Starting at the lovely Wetton Mill (SK 09593, DE6 2AG), it follows the course of the Manifold Way past spectacular limestone cliffs, through shady woodland and alongside the River Manifold, before heading quite gently uphill to some of the most fantastic and far-reaching views in the area. It emerges in the pretty village of Wetton at roughly the halfway point, where there are public toilets and a dog-friendly pub that serves good food and real ales. From Wetton the route follows field tracks down into the hidden Manifold Valley, a peaceful haven for wildlife, before returning to the start point. This is a walk of 5 miles. The terrain is not particularly challenging although there are uneven stretches on some of the field paths. There are both stiles and squeeze stiles, which may prove difficult for large or less agile dogs. The walk starts and ends at Wetton Mill, where there are public toilets and a café. Children of all ages can play in a shallow stream there too, and explore prehistoric cave systems. Allow 4-5 hours to complete this walk at a moderate pace, allowing for rest stops to take in the views.
