The Keekle meets the Ehen
Looking west at the meeting point of the rivers Ehen and Keekle. The Keekle is coloured a distinct red by the iron oxide picked up on its travels through the disused mines to the north.

The River Ehen
Looking downstream from the footbridge to Longlands Lake. The river was 'regulated' [made straight] years ago to avoid interfering with the local mine. Eventually it got its own back by flooding the mine.

Longlands Lake
Longlands Lake was created (more recently than 1940 going on the old OS map) by the gradual subsidence of the thoroughly undermined ground here - not a bad thing at all really, as it's now a local beauty spot and a haven for waterfowl.
