	River Lugg
		WHERE IS IT?: Except for the first section from Presteigne to Letchmoor Bridge, which is in Wales, the river is in Herefordshire, joining the River Wye at Mordiford, 9 miles downstream of Hereford.
		Lugg Green to Leominster is a good play section in winter or after heavy rain, level rises and falls very quickly.
		Obstructions to the river or portage routes should be reported to the Environment Agency.

		The great expanses of Upper and Lower Lugg Meadow are unique in Herefordshire, not just for their sheer size, but also because they are living survivors of a land tenure and farming economy system which has long since disappeared elsewhere.
		The Lugg population is unusual in that, although the normal pink/purple chequered form occurs, the majority of flowers are white.
		The river habitat comprises a number of sub-habitats; the river banks are lined by many Alders and willows, vertical river cliffs occur on the outer banks of meanders, there are patches of rushes and reeds and other emergent vegetation, while the river channel itself contains gravel bars and shelving gravel beaches.

	River Wye at AllExperts
		The lower 16 miles of the river from Redbrook to Chepstow forms the border between England and Wales.
		A viewpoint near The Biblins on the Wye is known as 'Three counties view' as it is the meeting place of the counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire.
		Money was spent several times improving the river Lugg from Leominster to its confluence with the Wye at Mordiford, but its navigation is likely to have been difficult.

	LOCAL INTEREST
		The Wye and the Lugg are both good fishing rivers, stretches of both are day ticket waters.
		Day tickets to fish local stretches of the rivers can be bought from the Green Man or the post office at Mordiford.
		There are beautiful woods and in the spring and early summer, peregrine falcons nest on the river cliffs.

	Welsh Canoeing Association, Equality Policy
		The WCA maintains a database of some 260 rivers and 240 lakes and stillwaters (not all of which are used for canoeing), of which the information in the WCA Canoe Access booklet is a summary.
		Occasionally the bed of the river may be transferred by the Crown to private ownership, and in such cases the right of navigation may (but not necessarily) have been extinguished.
		On all tidal rivers the Ordnance Survey records a 'tidal limit' which may be taken as a good indicator of the actual limit of influence.

	RIVER FLOODS ACROSS WALES OF 1998
		However in Wales, with the exception of the Rivers Wye and Severn, long records (in excess of 50 years) of annual maxima river flows are limited and, in the case of small catchments, non-existent.
		River flows in the Neath itself are estimated to have a return period of between 10 and 40 years.
		Other flooding on main river occurred at Presteigne and Kington where 15 properties were flooded from the river Lugg and a further 24 at Pembridge, Kington and Eardisland when the Arrow overtopped the natural channel.

	Estalia on Almondsey
		The west coast is gale-swept and treeless although an inland ridge protects the valley of the River Lugg.
		The Poggits, however, are mostly agricultural, especially in the Vale of the River Lugg.
		Almondsey is across the River Lin, hence the emphasis on fortifications, including Quadro Castle, the Whitcraft Towers, and the north coast (Lum, Quadron, and Tato) and river forts (Craglin, Pain, Ft. Lorig, Ronald's Ait, and Hamnet).

		The Lugg is a long river, rising, as it does, in Powys from Pool Hill, and flowing eastwards and then southwards until eventually reaching the Wye at Hereford.
		Driving up-river from Presteigne towards the little village of Whitton, there is a left-hand turn that crosses the river at Bridge End GR268669.
		One further small weir is left as the river meanders its way to the get out at Combe bridge GR348640.

		The passing of the Rivers Wye and Lugg Navigation Act in 1809 permitted the creation of a riverside towing path as far upstream as Hereford.
		By the end of September 1852 the first steam locomotive ever seen in Herefordshire was working on the section of the Newport, Hereford and Abergavenny line to the south of the city and the stone piers of the bridge over the Wye at Hunderton were under construction.

		The barbel in this swim are in a mid river gully and cannot be drawn into the under the rod slack, sometimes the chub would "mess about" with the meat on the downstream rod.
		rriving at 10ish the river was clear, and the mist was lifting.
		Because of the high pressure mist and only one chub caught, I deemed that a key point, in other words because of the dodgy atmospohere, chub were feeding on the key points when barbel should have been.

	Water Meadows (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An ancient system of encouraging the growth of grass before the growing season to provide stock with an early bite, water meadows are not exclusive to but do form a particular feature of chalk rivers.
		Water is diverted from the river by means of carriers to irrigate the meadow preventing the ground from freezing.
		Beside the river Lugg at Hereford, recently much contested ground, dole stones still mark different holder's strips.

	The Wye and Usk Foundation
		These trout streams are also suffering from the all the problems seemingly common to lowland rivers that are surrounded by intensive agriculture such as poor water quality, sedimentation and in many cases, simply neglect.
		We hope that the Hereford Rivers project is the first of three that when complete, will transform the two river systems that drain almost 25% of the total Wye catchment.
		In addition to some organised river walks and the construction of a demonstration site, the project is taking the proven Salmon Homecoming initiative from the South Wales Valleys and replicating it in the Lugg and Arrow.

	Highways Agency - Final strategy document
		The River Lugg and Teme (both designated as SSSIs, largely due to their population of protected species such as the Otter and Water Vole) may be vulnerable to water pollution as they flow near and under theroad.
		The River Wye (SSSI) crosses the A49 in the centre of Hereford.
		The four locations where outfall was identified as a potential issue were the River Corve at the Ludlow bypass, the River Wye in Hereford CityCentre, the Tributary of the Quinny Brook, Felhampton and the Tributary of the Quinny Brook, Little Stretton.

	The Story of St Ethelbert
		A few yards away runs the sleepy River Lugg over which passes a lane which joins the triangle midway along one of its sides.
		However, it may also have occurred near the river bank where the body was afterwards thrown into a marsh less than a mile from the palace.
		It is said to be miraculous because it remains clear even when the nearby River Lugg is in flood.

		But if the river is not too low, we always prefer what in ordinary language might be called a bright cheerful day, particulary if there is a fresh breeze.
		When the waves cease the river will actually speed up as the river runs off, this can also be linked to falling air pressure allowing water levels to rise.
		He retorted that the river had risen and "it must be bad water coming from the dams that was killing sport".

	Gloucester Harbour Trustees: Harbour Management Plan
		The River Wye is considered to be one of the best and longest examples of a near natural river system in England and Wales.
		The River is therefore designated as an SSSI and is a candidate Special Area of Conservation under the European Union's Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (92/43/EEC).
		The fact that the River is a candidate SAC requires any plans or projects to be assessed more vigorously to ensure that the SAC features are appropriately conserved.
