A gap in the trees reveals Weston Turville Reservoir

There are several large open picnic areas adjacent to the track from the café to Boddington Banks. Nearly everywhere the bordering trees hide the views. The small gap at this point allows one to see Weston Turville Reservoir – but the trees are growing and, unless action is taken, it will be invisible in a few years time. (Western Turville Reservoir was constructed in 1795 to supply water to what was then the Grand Junction Canal via the Wendover Arm.)
