Welcome to The Harnham Water Meadows
The photograph below shows the drowning of lower Seven Acres |
The Harnham Water Meadows, within the city of Salisbury, are part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and are an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA).
They incorporate a surviving part of the irrigation system once widespread across the Wessex chalkland.
The meadows are owned jointly by the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral and the Harnham Water Meadows Trust.
The tasks of the Trust are to manage the meadows as a single entity and to restore and operate the historic irrigation structures, all consistent with the modern requirements of an SSSI. |
