Little Britain Lake

Warm but windy today when we went for a walk

 Comfortable and cute too!

 Just a short walk as George’s knee is playing him up at the moment.  We’ll cross the roving bridge onto the Slough Arm

 Blackthorn/Sloe is starting to blossom - beautiful

 Looking along the Slough Arm from the River Colne Aqueduct 

 Furry Pussy Willow making an appearance as we approach Little Britain

… so named as it vaguely resembles the shape of Great Britain. 

The lake covers 14 acres and was formed as a result of gravel extraction in the 1930’s to provide a safe habitat for wild fowl.

 The lake is aerated, not sure why.

Lovely sign as we reach Packet Boat Lane just a few minutes away from our mooring.  A pleasant walk.
