Grotton fences

Grotton fences
This shows one of the ways that we take on our isolation exercise walks. It’s about a mile or so from my home near the large hamlet of Grotton. This small valley area had several old mills along the riverside –long since gone now but you can still see here some of the river modifications that they needed. An old lodge (reservoir used for the steam engines) was located just to the left of the metal fenced pathway.
HFF, enjoy your weekend

in this sequence, almost a labyrinth, of little bridges, I find myself walking among the wonderful lights and shadows in this untouched and peaceful site.
Magic atmosphere , Herb!

Thanks Bea. As you say, the light is everything here. I have been along here many times with my camera and considered snapping it but the lighting is rarely like this and so this was my first capture. Glad you liked it.

Thats a nice crossroads of fences Herb but which way do you go.
HFF have a great weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
Coming from high up behind me here, we tend to follow the metal fenced path up the river. Going across the bridge and left gives us the same chance of following the river up on the other bank or climbing out of the valley across fields upwards. Turning right over the bridge takes us down-stream. Simple!

The light coming through the trees and the dappled shadows on the pathways is really lovely. I like the fences, especially the wooden one. I find myself wondering where the pathways lead to and wish I could explore. A beautiful and atmospheric image Herb.

HFF to you. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Hi Keith, glad you like this one. Yes a wonderful walk through this dappled light with the earthy smell of the river. As said to Toz: Coming from high up behind me here, we tend to follow the metal fenced path up the river.

A wonderful fence junction Herb, I have mixed thoughts about about making walks like this accessible it changes them. I hope you have a HFF and a good weekend
3 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
Hi Peter and I can well understand your thoughts here. this used to be a very lonely and natural spot with only the metal fenced path available and that went only a few yards. Since this was made into a parkway walk a few years back, there are loads of people on here all the time. Ah well it gives other folk besides myself, who has always been quite adventurous, a chance to share these places too.

HFF, enjoy the weekend and keep safe.

Thanks Joe, I always knew that these fences were an HFF contender but I have been waiting for the mix of light and me being there to catch them. yes, the fences really do lead our eyes and bodies here.

I wonder how Grotton got its name Herb. I have a book of Dorset & Somerset place names and find it so interesting. Anyway, it looks a lovely place to walk and you have given us a good selection of fences. HFF. Take care and have a good weekend. Rosa.
3 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
I don't know that either Rosa. It is actually between Springhead and Grotton. Springhead is far easier to think where the name came from. A great spot for sure, quite different I think form your grand views. Glad you enjoyed it for sure.

A fantastic maze of fences her, Herb. If they take suggestions for the banner photo this week, I vote for this image!

HFF, Herb. I read this weekend you guys might have the first cautious ease-ups of the lockdown.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Annalia S.
Thanks Annalia. I reckon for that banner, the fences must at least be wide landscape one, in that case, this would not do at all but its a nice thought from you. Cheers.

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, which I like a lot

I do like those old water mill head and tail races, the stonework will last for centuries!
I must make an effort to get to visit this area more often!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Glad you like this one Peter. Yes, this scene is very pretty but in fact it is all under threat as they want to build a housing estate over all this. The mind boggles but knowing our present national and local government they will rip all this up and have a main road here instead.
