@RichardAshwell In my mind's eye these are among the most beautiful rivers in the British Isles, as when #TinternAbbey was in its prime & the #LadyOfClare presided at #Usk. I hope they will be again.

A historic stone bridge spans the River Wye in Bakewell, surrounded by the scenic greenery of the Peak District. Its multiple arches and weathered masonry highlight the area’s rich heritage and classic historic architecture. Ducks and gulls drift along the calm water, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of this popular riverside spot. The location is a favorite for visitors enjoying the #StoneBridge views, #RiverWye charm, and #ScenicView walks through the #PeakDistrict.

So, when I first saw this headline, I thought it was about the #UnitedStates making #EPA staffing cuts. Nope! It's the #UK! And this has been going on for a while now!
Thousands of #RiverPollution tests cancelled because of staff shortages
by Jonah Fisher, July 24, 2025
Excerpt: "Staffing problems are nothing new at the EA. In 2023 its chairman Alan Lovell told parliament that it had 'struggled with recruitment and retention of staff'.
"Internal emails obtained by campaign groups #Greenpeace and #Desmog through freedom of information requests were shared with the BBC. They show EA officials discussing the impact of staff departures on testing and saying that others planned to leave.
"One senior official, writing an email to her colleagues, said it was 'not good news I'm afraid' adding 'this isn't where we want to be (again)'.
"Helen Nightingale, who worked at the #EnvironmentAgency as a catchment planner, analysing data from its water quality programme until 2022, says that while she was there she saw a shift of focus away from serious investigation to trying to find 'successes'.
"She also said that morale was low: "The pay is not great – we didn't have pay rises for years due to #austerity.
" 'But a lot people are in it [the EA] because they want to make a difference – and when you're not even getting that - well, what's the point?'
"Documents seen by the BBC show that the work affected by the cuts to testing this year included investigations into the water industry in various parts of the country, and monitoring of #ProtectedAreas including the #RiverWye, which is currently facing a #pollution crisis linked to intensive #ChickenFarming."

Last summer I started on a long held ambition to walk the River Wye/Afon Gwy from Severn to source. After doing 70 miles of the #WyeValleyWalk a combination of train difficulties, worsening weather and finally Covid stopped my progress at Hay on Wye.
Delighted to be back on it today, a short 8 mile section of changeable spring weather and stunningly beautiful scenery between Hay and Boughrood, the Black Mountains an ever present companion.

Teaching about dams & #dam removal this week. Normally I wouldn't say a picture of #water spilling over a dam face should count as a #waterfall, but this very old mill dam at Water-cum-Jolly on the River Wye in #England's Peak District is certainly picturesque & part of the cultural heritage of the area now. But I could clearly see the geomorphic effects (#reservoir #sedimentation & downstream #erosion) that ~200 years of that dam has wrought. #WaterfallWednesday #RiverWye #UK

The River Wye
A national, natural, capitalist, human disaster. Murder on the Wye. A dying river. A dying ecosystem. Dead & dying fish, crustaceans, invertebrates. Pollution from sewage discharge and from industrialised agriculture, especially intensive chicken units
