This is Lottage Road in Aldbourne which has been closed to traffic due to the River Aldbourne flowing along it. Not a problem for these horse riders though. In the foreground is the official river channel which as you see is unable to cope with the large amount of water coming down from the normally dry upper section of the valley. Water is also pouring out of drains and springs all along the road itself.
