Looking north, this well maintained grassland is on the flood plain of the River Penk north of Radford Bridge. It is a popular open space open to the public and includes a children's playground. The river is very low and quietly flowing at base of the trees on the right. Behind the trees, the Deepmore Drain flows northwards, joining the River Penk near Baswich. Crossing the meadow, and joining it halfway up the image is the Rickerscote Drain.
