A small pond near Coven

This looks like proper 'Mr Crabtree' fishing to me - a small pond, lily pads and overhanging trees. Must be crawling with tench, carp, perch and roach.

On the approach to Chillington Hall from the east, this bridleway runs through the woods.

Avenue Bridge in the summer

Visit in the autumn, and you can see rather more of the stonework of the canal bridge SJ8807 : Balustrade Bridge but in the summer, it's rather obscured by vegetation.

Chillington Wharf

Just north of the true (albeit now disused) wharf area at SJ8907 : Old wharf and cottage south of Brewood, Staffordshire these scaffolding poles and planks or pallets lie gathering foliage on the far bank of the Shroppy.
