Looking downstream along the River Nidd from Cattal Bridge. The Nidd is quite narrow at this point [compare with Knaresborough several miles upstream] and is contained between high banks. With water levels low during a period of freezing weather it is difficult to imagine the river in flood when it overtops these banks.
