River Allen

The River Allen is a river in the county of Dorset in South West England. It flows for 14 miles and has its confluence with the River Stour in Wimborne Minster. It has two main tributaries, the Gussage Stream and the Crichel Stream.

The River Allen starts at Wyke Farm as a winterbourne and flows down to Monkton Up Wimborne and then tracks its way to the Watercress farm, follows down to Honeybrook Farm, to a mill and then to Canford Bridge in Wimborne Minster that is the mouth of the river. The river is known as a classic chalkstream which supports a good fishery for trout and used to support a good salmonid population. A large amount of the river banks are privately owned by two estates including the Shaftsebury Estate at the source.
