Dorking from Box Hill
| |
|
|
One of the classic views of Southern England.
I needed to get out for a walk, so decided on Box Hill and Ranmore Common on a hot Saturday morning (there's no end of these right now)
Broadwood's Tower
| |
|
|
|
Wandering the tracks north of Box Hill, I encountered this ruin.
A folly built some time after 1814 by Thomas Broadwood, according to the National Trust's web page.

St Marys Church Battersea
| |
|
Opened in 1777 on the site of earlier places of worship. The church overlooks the Thames: J.M.W. Turner painted the view from here.
Albert Bridge Notice
| |
|
Albert Bridge is a combination of suspension and cable-stayed bridge opened in 1873. There were concerns that the bridge would be unstable when large crowds were on the bridge, hence the sign warning soldiers from Chelsea Barracks not to march in step.

The wildflower meadow
| |
|
There is a small wildflower meadow in the centre of the reserve. This was clearly a good time to visit.

Large Red Damselfly
| |
|
|
Plenty of damselflies buzzing around the ponds. This is more likely to be a Large Red Damselfly than a Small Red Damselfly, if my reading of the British Dragonflies information is correct.

British Dragonflies has helped me out with this one as well - it's a male Broad-bodied Chaser
