11th September 2025 the weather’s set fair so we decide to visit Costessey Ponds. We go there several times a year, either walking out from Norwich along Marriott’s Way, or busing out to Costessey. Today we try a new way, a footpath through several community nature reserves which will, eventually, deliver us to Marriott’s Way. Please join us as we discover what delights this new path holds

The footpath starts close to the main Norwich reservoir, entering what is at first a very dark woodland 🔼 but that soon brightens (part of the waterworks visible here 🔽) ⏬

Another bridge, this one crosses the smaller River Tud 🔼🔽 and there, we’re at the familiar resting place

Me likewise. I’ve also sketched it out. Needs a modicum of editing before I show it to you all

Enjoying the green while it lasts. All too soon, winter will paint everything brown

It comes later here than it does in Canada and America. Although I’m seeing a few oaks already showing gold
