Little Loch Fleet

Little Loch Fleet

            Until 1816 when Thomas Telford completed the earthen causeway and six arched stone bridge, tidal Loch Fleet would continue from here for a further mile up the river Fleet at high tides.   With the completion of the causeway and the introduction of self regulating sluice gates which stops sea water entering the river but allows the river to empty as the tide recedes, had a dramatic effect upstream of the mound.  The build up of silt and shallow fresh water levels created ideal conditions for Alder and Willow trees which is now one of the largest of its type and is a designated nature reserve.
