The Hurst Water Meadow Trust

Welcome to the Hurst Water Meadows – 25 acres of traditionally managed historic flood meadows at Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Stretching along the River Thame from its confluence with the Thames past the historic village of Dorchester and hamlet of Overy, the meadows formed part of a complex water-management system beside a medieval monastery, the surviving part of which is Dorchester Abbey.

Charity owned and managed with the involvement of the local community charity, the meadows are:

• yours to enjoy for free
• managed for ecological diversity
• preserved forever.
