Footbridge over The Cut

The Cut is the rather unimaginative name of the minor Thames tributary that drains Bracknell and the area to the north. There is a wooded walk beside it for a while along this section.

Queensway. 1953

"E II R QUEENSWAY 2 June 1953" says the stone. A coronation memento from the beginning of a long reign. It's beside a footpath through a strip of parkland off Moordale Avenue.

Woodhurst Park Pond

These landscaped storage ponds for the control of storm water run off have become an integral part of many new developments. This is Woodhurst Park, a new estate in north Bracknell.

Brickwork on the Roundabout

There's not much that can't be improved by a bit of decoration, even a humble mini roundabout. This is more stylish than one of the usual white blobs. Pity the drain covers spoil the pattern. At the junction of Howell Close and Mareshall Avenue.

Bridge in Piggy Wood

Piggy Wood nature reserve is a small area of remnant natural woodland in the middle of an area that has otherwise all been built over.

Lakeside and Wick Hill Wood

Lakeside is the name of this street, and there is a pond off to the left behind the houses, but you can't see it. Wick Hill Wood is a small square of woodland that has been left standing for people to enjoy.
