The final part of our walk yesterday was along Clacker's Brook - from the new outskirts of the town back to the centre.

Rupert surveys the brook, from the new bridge that's been provided on the diverted public footpath


New housing looks suprisingly imposing over the brook


Goodness - what can I say? So sad to see litter dumped like this in one of the green spots in the town; I hope that someone's ashamed of themselves...


Spring and summer will liven up this scene; as it was, we were watching the ducks and enjoying the green grass under our feet. Let's hope this can become a linear park extension out from Queensway to the new housing area.


There are some old pictures of parts of this area. [here] and [here].
