Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

This reach is located to the south of Enford and is 1535m in length. The original reach has been sub-divided into two due to the overall length of the reach (1.5km) and differing channel characteristics. This note therefore refers to the upstream section only, between Enford Bridge and Enford Grange, approximately 0.5km in length. The reach is designated SSSI and SAC. There reach is privately fished. Downstream of Enford Bridge the channel has been altered in the past due to dredging and straightening. The channel is deep and flow is slow and uniform, which is causing the deposition of silt within the channel, obscuring the gravel bed below. The reach is also affected by an impoundment caused by a wooden board and stone weir at Enford Grange. This structure impounds the river for at least 150m upstream and possibly further, resulting in uniform flow conditions and drowned out riffles. The left bank is also being undercut and eroded in a number of places along the reach.
