The seasons
|
Winter floods |
The meadow floods nearly every winter, sometimes three or four times. This
is good for the pasture and may bring wildflower seeds from up river. |
|
The black poplar, seen across Buck Pool in the spring, is getting old
and has needed extensive tree surgery. However it still has a good show of
leaf. |

Buck pool and weir in Summer |
Buck Pool is at its most attractive in summer, and is popular with
picnicking families and anglers.

Public access can be difficult during floods!
|
Dog walkers may not be pleased with the floods, but some dogs are very
determined! |
|
Not many visitors take the opportunity to visit the Hurst at dawn.
