Great Stour @ Godmersham Kent.. - a photo on Flickriver

            Like many rivers, the Stour has borne witness to much of England’s history, connecting Canterbury with continental Europe since Roman times. Reminders of its not-so-distant industrial past such as water mills – for the paper, flour and energy industries – line the Stour and its tributaries.

Its importance for humans has meant changes to its landscape, particularly draining the marshlands in the coastal area. Still, Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve is an internationally important wetland area with the largest reed bed in the South East, making it a fantastic place for bird watching.

Not only that, but the Little Stour and Nailbourne form part of one of the UK’s rarest ecosystems: chalk streams. Fed by chalk-filtered water, these rivers are renowned for their clean waters and unique species including brown trout and mayfly.
