Cherwell valley autumnal floods, Oxfordshire
Cherwell valley autumnal floods, Oxfordshire

An afternoon's walk to try and visit (or at least view from afar) the flooded water-meadows of the Cherwell valley between Banbury and Oxford. Late September had seen some of the heaviest rain since records began, and parts of nearby Bedfordshire had seen more than two months rain fall in less than 24 hours.
The day before I'd visited Oxford by train, the line mostly following the river and canal, and the valley was still mostly a continuous lake, sometimes on both sides of the track, especially near the village of Kings Sutton.
The flooding transformed the landscape, returning it to the watery and mysterious marsh it must once have been.
