Scenery at Hannington Bridge Standing on the bridge parapet for a better look around. This is pretty much it. Thames flood plain, meadowland and trees.

Sky, Crops and a Tree The flat landscape of the upper Thames valley. A random shot of healthy looking farmland.
Kempsford church tower is just visible behind the far trees.

Signpost on the Bridleway I would guess most walkers cross SU1695 on the Thames Path along the north of the square, by the trees on the horizon.
But the bridleway a bit to the south is an alternative. It looks fairly well used.
Another path heads off southwards just here.

Along the Bridleway Two paths cross SU1695. The Thames Path by the river and this one through the fields.

View from Lus Hill Lus Hill isn&#039;t very high and this isn&#039;t the top, but the map contours are putting us 25 metres or so above the flat Thames Valley to the north. That&#039;s enough for quite a wide view over a predominantly agricultural landscape.

Houses at Lus Hill There is a large house at the top of the hill, a farm about half way down and these roadside houses are at the bottom of the hill.
An old post box is outside the nearest one.

30 mph through Hannington Wick Speed limit signs outside Box Hedge Farm. This is the southernmost of the seven named farms which make up the small hamlet of Hannington Wick.
In quick succession after Box Hedge Farm come Pond, Cherry Tree, Manor, Sycamore Tree, Yew Tree and Bridge Farms, all in just over 1 km.

Along the Thames Path An inevitable similarity to the pictures of the Thames Path in SU1895. It&#039;s not the most stunning section of the route, along a farm track at some distance from the Thames.

Damselfly, Green Lane, near Kempsford The luxuriant verdure and low-lying nature of Green Lane make it an ideal habitat for the Damselfly, which is present in its hundreds at the end of June, flitting about like sparks of electricity.
