Carding Mill Valley Trip

This week, Year 11 students undertook GCSE fieldwork at Carding Mill Valley to investigate whether the Ash Brook fits the Bradshaw Model and how its characteristics change downstream. In the morning, they collected data on variables such as velocity, depth, and width to compare with the model’s predictions. In the afternoon, the students visited Church Stretton to assess whether the village acts as a honeypot site, looking at factors like tourist footfall, local amenities, and the environmental impact of tourism on the area.
