When the nearby buildings were a school, this boathouse was in active use. Now they house a specialist psychiatric hospital, there seems to be less demand for a boathouse on the lake and the shoreline is fenced off on the hospital side. Shortly after taking this photograph, I - along with a fellow geographer - were spooked by an inmate (a man of colour, comme on dit, with a white beard) silently emerging from the cover of rhododendrons: we thought we'd seen a ghost! Nevertheless, the whole area south of here, Marsham Woods, offers a wealth of walks and rides in a variety of different woods and heathland landscapes.
