Exploring the Neighbourhood (1)

My new home is in the local marina. It's not on the waterfront but that is very close, less than five minutes walk away. By the side of the marina is the Kennet and Avon canal with easy towpath walks in both directions (to Bradford on Avon or back in to Trowbridge) and at the end of the village is the River Avon with its water meadows/flood plain and weir. 

Today, I walked round to the waterfront to take a few photos to share with you.
