The other day I took a walk to one of my old haunts Bow Bridge just on the edge of our village
This was the place I was heading the old road did go here though now it is well overgrown
Overgrown was one thing but the path was blocked by a fallen tree that had not been cleared, it was covered in ivy so I feel that did not help
It was not the only tree succumbing to age and weather
Once you got over the tree you could see it in the distance
The old bridge parapet was still looking good
Looking over at the stream you could see the new bridge in the distance
The old road towards Wallingford now just a footpath were people walked their dogs
Down by the bank of the brook looking at the bridge
Where it flows towards the river Thames about 200 yards away, a few weeks ago I would be up to my waist where I am stood because of all the flooding
The path to the river used to be around here but has moved a few yards to my left because the path got overgrown. We did go to the river and found the stream there was getting blocked by fallen trees.
We left it there and went home for tea. I'll come back here again and show you more

That looks like an long and interesting walk. I'm surprised to see all the broken and fallen trees. It'll be interesting to see it in spring. Looking forward to your next visit there.
Ancient, and full of memory.
Too bad the path is so over grown.
Great pictures.
Looks like a bit of a scramble.
