The railway engineers used the gentle gradients of the river to overcome the hilliness of the local terrain. This image from high up near the A171 road bridge is rich in detail. Many yachts are still out of the water prior to summer outings. Pantile rooftops are typical in this area. The ruined abbey stands on the skyline.
