Cuckmere & Friston Forest - Sussex - 21.5.2015

Phil Sutters has posted:

Friston Forest, seen beyond the water meadows of the Cuckmere Valley, is a fairly recent arrival in the local landscape. During the second world war, much of the farmland in this area was taken over as training grounds for army units, both British and Canadian. The land on the far side of the valley served as a training ground for tank crews. After the war it was decided that the underlying chalk geology was a valuable water resource. To keep the aquifers as pure as possible, it was decided to turn the area into a forest. This avoided having potentially polluting developments on it and the run off from animal husbandry or crop growing.

This is probably the widest point of the valley of the Sussex Ouse, certainly in the part south of Lewes.

Southease swing bridge - 10.11.2011

Phil Sutters has posted:

The bridge is listed and quite elegant, but its protective woodwork rather spoils the effect. It hasn't been opened for many years. Boats going up the river towards Lewes are small leisure craft, that can pass under with ease at most levels of tide, I would guess.

Tracks along the edge of the North Downs - 5.3.2015

Pruning the branches on the railway side, to reduce leaf fall onto the rails, has produced this nice view. To someone who lives on the coast and sees trees bent over by winds from the sea, these look strange as they are distorted in both directions.

'new' is a relative term. The cut, that's the channel on the right, was made in 1847!

Cuckmere Haven - Old coastguard cottages - 21.1.2014

nobody@ipernity.com (Phil Sutters) — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:29:27 +0000

Phil Sutters has posted:

These former coastguard cottages draw photographers from all around the world. OK it's not just the cottages, but they are a key component in the Cuckmere scene. There are few if any rivers along the Sussex coast that meet the sea with such limited development around the estuary. We are lucky to have such an beautiful location so close to home. The hill behind becomes Seaford Head over the horizon and the other side of the headland is Seaford.

The human intervention, in the form of breakwaters, to protect the the shoreline from erosion, seems to have largely been left to return to nature.

The River Ouse upstream of Newhaven Swing Bridge - 15.11.2012

Looking at this shot I am amazed how little depth of riverbank there is left when the tide is in and the river is full of water off the South Downs. Surely a storm surge in at the high tide could over-top these banks. Further upstream, just beyond the incinerator the banks are a couple of metres above the surrounding fields.
