Severn Lane, Berkeley

Severn Lane is a no-through-road, ending here at Severn House Farm. Looking west along the final few yards of public road, the River Severn is invisible behind the farmhouse.

Wood in Whitcliff Deer park

The Countryside Stewardship Scheme is replacing modern conifer plantations in the park. They aim to ensure the survival of the ancient trees and enhance the historic landscape of the park by planting trees which reflect its medieval character.

Thunder in the air

A view from Whitcliff deer park looking towards the river Severn with heavy, black thunder clouds rolling in from the south-west. The dead oak suggests forked lightning could be on its way.

Pond

The pond lies in the lower ground of Whitcliff deer park, has a square shape and is probably a man-made watering hole for the deer which roam in the park. The river Severn can be seen in the background.

Deer in Whitcliff Park

The deer park was first enclosed in the 13th century, though this wall dates from the 1770's. The deer were disturbed by someone walking down by the wall. The building beyond the wall is Pedington Farm.
