The Swale seems a long way down below the path here, one reason being the low water levels during the very dry summer of 2018. However, the Swale is a spate river and has the reputation of being the fastest rising of any English river. A scan through the other photos for this square will reveal what the Swale can do in flood conditions, thus making these high flood banks a necessity.
