River Witham north of Bracebridge, Lincoln

A public footpath follows a bend of the River Witham, looking northeastwards towards a residential area approximately 2.5 kilometres south of Lincoln city centre and 600 metres north of Bracebridge bridge. This photograph was taken on a warm, overcast day in early May. Viewed from the largely undeveloped western bank of the Witham between Bracebridge and Dixon Street, the riverside homes on the corner of Fairfax Street and Park Lane can be seen (centre) with the white rear of the Aldi supermarket on Newark Road (A1434) extending into frame from the right. Though much of this footpath is insulated from the noises of the city, here the sounds of ducks splashing and birds chirping are unfortunately drowned out by the constant hum of the local Walkers crisp factory, whose fenced yard of grimy container lorries lines the opposite bank just upstream (south) of this point.
