Moccas Deer Park

This privately owned deer park covers 90% of this square. In 1876 Reverend Francis Kilvert described many old and gnarled oaks. I'm not sure if these are the same ones.

The Scar

From the river, the features of the scar are visible, showing the strata and how the bank is slowly subsiding. There are some interesting rocks to avoid in the water.
