Christine Jordan from the Trent Vale Landscape Partnership talks about an emerging area in Nottinghamshire:
The Trent Vale Landscape Partnership is a group of organisations varying from local authorities, environmental groups, wildlife and voluntary organisations with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Formed back in 2010, the partnership is targeted at promoting an area of the River Trent from Farndon to West Stockwith. The Trent Vale comprises 76 villages following the course of the River Trent in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
Picking up in a shoe shape with the heel and sole around the market town of Newark, the Trent Vale moves through the picturesque areas of North Muskham, Collingham and Sutton on Trent, and on up to Gainsborough and Beckingham.
The partnership is primarily focused around conserving heritage, providing opportunities for people to learn, improving access to the area and celebrating its identity.
In many ways, the Trent Vale is rather a hidden gem and has a fascinating history with dynamic landscapes that have been shaped by the river and its communities for millennia.
The Trent Vale has been a major highway since Roman times and settlements dating back to the period were widespread in the area. Recent excavations and aerial photos have shown that hamlets and even villages existed, while there are several high status villas.
The wetlands and river meadows are a haven for wildlife and there are numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Bird lovers may get the chance to see a bittern or marsh harrier and there are swarms of sand martin.
The countryside and villages retain a traditional, rural character and are packed full of heritage. You’ll find everything from guided walks, cycle routes, nature reserves, historic buildings, beautiful landscapes and fantastic pubs and restaurants.
