Woofferton Loop

Viewed from the minor road overbridge this is looking towards Hereford on the Marches line from Newport to Shrewsbury. The signalbox can be seen in the distance and this is one of the passing loops on this line.

Chub in shallow water on a sunny morning. They were taking the odd gulp of air to supplement the lower oxygen levels in the warmer water.

Weir, Barretts Mill

The ever decaying weir which was damaged by a collision with a tree in the 18th century and has been steadily collapsing ever since.

Alder coppicing

Alder trees alongside the Teme are being cut back. This is part of the SSSI management, coppicing prevents large trees toppling into the river which can cause some spectacular erosion.

There is a small wooded island here, just downstream of the weir.

Exposed sandstone

You will see rock like this over in the Black Mountains, but it is rarely exposed on the plain. The sandstone alternates between a hard rock and then layers of crumbly marl. This makes the river rather dangerous as there are flat slabs of sandstone under the water which are then undercut, providing a place where currents can pin a body. This has been the cause of several drownings locally. The river was once deeper here as the photograph was taken from a weir. The weir was breached c. 1880 by a tree in a flood.
