Terry's photos
The cascade from below before.....
and after.....
and from above....
This week we returned to possibly our favourite site –
Flowers Brook in Ventnor. We have been
visiting this site for many years and helping the Ventnor Enhancement Fund
volunteers. Today we had the most
beautiful weather with a calm sea. As you can see from the photos, there has been
a considerable amount of work improving the path that runs above the
brook. The original coastal path has
fallen away, the remains of which are closed, so the path now continues on a
bridge over the brook and along the new path which then joins up with the steps
up the cliff.
We were asked to clear brambles at the bottom of the cascade
and further along the path. The greenery
along the brook was also tidied up. The
cascade itself is dry at the moment as any water in the pool is being diverted
down the side and under the cascade. A
few of our team worked at the top and cleared away the encroaching plants. The water in the pool was then encouraged to
fall over the lip in the correct place.
A few of us were fortunate enough to spot an eel in the
brook.
Thank you to Terry for the photos.
