The River Leam at Jephson Gardens, Leamington Spa - Victoria Bridge

Another visit to Leamington Spa Town Centre, this time on the penultimate day of 2021.

Heading through Jephson Gardens again, over 10 years since I first visit here.

The River Leam was higher than usual, probably due to recent rain.

From the Mill Bridge and Weir.
