Where the road ahead disappears from view, it falls very steeply down to a rail and road crossing in the wooded Wylye Valley with the slopes of Deptford Down in shadow beyond. Thereafter there is a beautiful distant view of the Plain in sunshine.text/html2017-01-20T17:30:39+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/27578D Gore52.878541 1.354175TG2536 : Stepping stones through a north Norfolk coastal garden in the making
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/5258491
This village garden in a flat landscape is classified as coastal because its height above mean sea level is only 42 metres at a distance from the sea of 3500 metres (OS 2001 figures). The intention is to show this unusually long thin slice of coastal garden again later in its development to produce fruit and vegetables for the table.text/html2017-01-18T16:40:00+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/27578D Gore51.509324 -1.119548SU6179 : Entrance to St Bartholomew’s Church, Lower Basildon

This is the welcoming entry to an old Thames-side church, lit on the occasion of a Carol Concert on Sunday 26th November 2016. This ancient village church, the history of which goes back before the 13th century, was made redundant in 1973 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/919750 . It is now under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/ . They, the Benefice, and donations from the Lloyd Webber family and other generous donors, helped bring this historic church back to life and open to public view. Services are held four times a year, one of which is planned as a carol/ Christmas concert, as well as for fund-raising concerts and other events.text/html2017-01-17T19:47:13+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/27578D Gore51.410923 -1.332802SU4668 : Statue of Indian Goddess – Chelsea Gardens’ Gold Medallist

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/5256205
These water-lilies (Genus: Nuphar) are an important example of the assets and beauty of this small 10 acre lough fed by streams running off gentle grassy slopes, all of which make it a peaceful haven for fish, birds and especially people.

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/5256153
The bodies of this talented and intriguing husband and wife pair lie incognito beneath these two unmarked mounds in the beautiful tree-lined graveyard of All Saints’ Gimingham. Both were professional landscape artists and also pacifists of the Great War for which the husband, Claughton Pellew, was imprisoned in Dartmoor. On his release in 1919 they escaped to hide and paint in the depths of north Norfolk. Between the wars they developed close German links such that the body of their work contrasts interestingly between the flatness of Norfolk and the mountains and lakes of Bavaria where at the time the Nazi Party was being born.
Examples of Claughton’s pictures can be seen at http://www.scribd.com/doc/117326171/Claughton-Pellew-1890-1966-Artist which links to those of his wife, Kechie Tennenttext/html2017-01-14T01:41:34+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/27578D Gore51.088312 1.143088TR2036 : Lieut Sydney Kingston GORE, 1st Bn Royal West Kent Regiment

Late July raspberry PYO at Cobbs Farm Shop http://www.cobbsfarmshop.co.uk/pyo.htm . Henry is the ideal picker: he doesn’t like raspberries. Hot sun and lack of rain has closed Cobbs PYO early this year, but there is hope for a good Autumn raspberry crop into October if the weather is kind.text/html2014-07-03T09:40:29+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/27578D Gore51.402505 -1.571129SU2967 : Canal lock and quay
