What to see

At this time the river was so dirty from heavy industry that the water couldn’t be used for paper making and, as a result, ‘Crompton’s Lodges’ were built. Nowadays these lodges support a wide range of waterfowl including mute swan, tufted duck, great-crested grebe and even water rail, while common terns perform acrobatics above the water during summer.

Time your visit right and you might witness herons catching brown trout as they leap from the weir, and don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the jewel-like kingfisher - the perfect representative of the revival of the valley from industrial dereliction to wildlife haven.
