Having lived in exeter since birth. I have watched our wild places disapear. Our waterways piped underground. Beautifull places where children took their jam jars with string for a handle and came home with all kinds of wonders.I hope my pictures show it's still possible to find a few places left around our city where adventure still lives. Enjoy whats left before it's taken too.

One of the more delightful and peaceful places i have fish'd. Gudgeon Pike and Dace were always abundant here.
Popular with Fishermen and Swimmers. Oh If only the Council would Give back the Bathing Huts or at least A wooden Ramp.
Blackaller and Head weir are still popular with swimers Once a council run bathing area.Also known by locals as Head Wear.
The Leat house at Bolham adjacent to the weir
You can also see the river at this point of the path
The Footpath runs from one roundabout under the bridge to the next roundabout.
After the Rains its fast as expected .But within days returns Much calmer Enjoyable spot.
The Leat at Bolham Heading down towards tiverton
High Water at Bolham Tiverton
Water is high on this day so the river is usualy slightly lower than this.
