Dist:0.3km<br/>The bridleway runs from the left of the image down to the hedgerow running left to right separating this field from the Kennet and Avon canal. After a dry spring the stream marked on the map to the west (immediate left on this image) of the bridleway is little more than a damp ditch

Dist:0.3km<br/>Although not a right of way the boundary of the field shown here appears to be frequently used as a way to join the footpath along the southern edge of the field to the bridleway from which this image was taken: during the few minutes I was taking photographs here several dog walkers used this route.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The pond here between the fields of [[2406397]] and [[2406383]] provides nice damp conditions suitable for willows and other trees.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This pond is situated between the field [[2406397]] and [[2406383]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>The willows to the left of this image are growing next to a small pond which presumably provides the damp conditions necessary for these trees.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A steady downpour at Whaddon Bridge, seen in brighter weather (and looking in the opposite direction) at [[467407]]. Rights of way are along both banks here; footpath HILP31 on this side, bridleway HILP17 on the other. Ironically, cyclepath NCN4 follows the footpath, which is the actual towing path.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Traditionally, bridges on the Kennet & Avon Canal were known by name only. Numbers were not added until take-over by British Waterways. There are still a few old timers who see bridge numbers as a waste of time.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This bridge, seen here from the east, has clearly been rebuilt into the present rather ugly structure. The bridge carries a metalled lane northwards to the hamlet of Whaddon, which has no other road access.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Carrying footpath HILP23 across the canal. The bridge is shown from the opposite side in [[467458]]. See also http://www.envf.port.ac.uk/kacanal/html/KAC0295.HTM .

Dist:0.7km<br/>This concrete bridge replaces a former swing bridge the abutments of which can still be seen.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Whilst the footpath that crosses the canal here is reasonably well used this is insufficient to keep anything beyond a narrow track free of vegetation.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Seen from the east, Whaddon Bridge - No.163 - is in the distance.
