This water meadow is almost always partly under water, and is a RSPB reserve https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/m/matfordmarsh/about.aspx . After the exceptional rains of the new year, the area under water has at least doubled. This view is from an X46 bus close to the Matford Park Farm roundabout. The houses are across the canal and river on Countess Wear Road.
