Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Frampton Pools (grid reference SO753073) is a 59.84-hectare (147.9-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974. The pools are on the edge of the village of Frampton on Severn. The site is in the Severn Vale and consists of a number of lakes created as a result of gravel extraction. These provide a good open water habitat which is important for wintering wildfowl. The site is mostly standing water which is surrounded by broadleaved woodland, scrub and the margins support marginal vegetation. The larger, deeper northern pit has steep banks and is often subjected to disturbance by sailing, the southern pit is smaller and shallower with well-vegetated banks and is less disturbed. The northern pool is known as Court Lake and has an area of thirty-nine point nine hectares (99 acres) and the southern pool is called Townsfield Lake and has an area of twenty point seven hectares (51 acres). In 2009 funding was secured to improve the conservation condition of the site through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund. (en)
