Fishlake Meadows nature reserve is a spectacular wetland, home to hunting ospreys, elusive bitterns, migratory cuckoos and murmurating starlings. It also supports other species like otters, water voles, 24 species of dragonfly and damselfly, and an impressive variety of plants. 

The unique habitats of Fishlake Meadows established themselves after farming of the land ceased over the last two decades. Unusually, the reserve now boasts a mix of floodplain habitats rarely seen in our chalk river valleys. Appearances can be deceptive. Fishlake Meadows and the stream bordering it, the Fishlake, are far from natural. They are part of an artificial, man-made landscape that was constructed and carefully managed for a thousand years. The management of the Test and its floodplain provided a variety of valuable resources that were crucial to the development of Romsey and its surrounding villages. The unique configuration of the Test valley north of Romsey made it possible to transform the area and enabled Romsey to develop into a thriving market town.
