Information about the Lower Windrush Valley Project
Summary
The Lower Windrush Valley covers 28 square
kilometres of West Oxfordshire, incorporating
the floodplain of the River Windrush from
Witney to where it joins the River Thames
at Newbridge.
Over the last 60 years the landscape character of
the valley has been transformed by mineral extraction
with large areas of the riverside pasture transformed into a mosaic of open water. With mineral extraction set to continue for many years to come the Lower Windrush Valley Project (LWVP) was created by Oxfordshire County Council to create and implement an environmental strategy for this area.
