Riverside Meadows, Sturminster Newton
A riverside reserve used regularly by anglers and walkers.
The site consists of two grassland fields along the River Stour. It is regularly flooded in the winter and, through careful management, we hope to encourage more wetland species. The meadows provide an ideal location for fishing along the river, with the local angling club.
