Pylons and Cables in Didcot

With a major power station on the edge of town it's inevitable that lines like this are a feature of the local landscape. Building has to keep a suitably safe distance away from them, resulting in North Didcot having a long open strip like this running through the centre of recent housing developments. The area beneath the cables has been landscaped into a sort of linear park, with cycleways and sitting out areas, and is actually a bit of an amenity.
