The Thames between Folly Bridge in Oxford and Iffley . A rowing boat is emerging from under the bridge which joins Boathouse Walk and Christ Church Meadow Walk. Next to this are some of the Oxford College boathouses on a stretch of the river famed for boat racing. Pleasure boats and punts are often to be seen here as well as rowing crews in training.

The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The red, white and blue, Union Jack. This flag is displayed in a comic book style starburst (the type you would see in a fight with pow, boom, kapow written in it.) The star is outlined in black and is shadowed by comic style yellow spots. Across the flag is the word UNITED KINGDOM, written in similar yellow dots

Standing on the historic bridge at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire looking upriver. Here there are cafes, bars and restaurants overlooking the River Thames. Here also can be found boatyards where everything from rowing boats to river launches can be hired - or perhaps go on a river trip for an hour or two. This is a historic area for sport and is the site of the famous Henley Royal Regatta which has been held since 1839, gaining 'Royal' status under the patronage of Prince Abert in 1851.

The Skiddaw range of the Lake District's Northern Fells seen at sunset. This is the view from one of the country roads just east of Silloth on the Solway coast. Whatever the weather, spectacular sunsets always seem to appear, often at their best after stormy weather! Being a somewhat breezy area, wind turbines are becoming an extremely familiar sight across Cumbria, Nikon D7000 Nikkor 18-200

A dinghy moored on the Oxford Canal at Thrupp near Kidlington in Oxfordshire, England. The Oxford Canal, 77 miles long, was constructed in the late 1700s and was opened in stages between 1774 and 1790. The aim was to connect Coventry and its nearby coalfields with Oxford, the Thames and eventually London. It's a contour canal meaning it follows the line of the hills rather than using flights of locks to climb them, resulting in fewer locks overall. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

The brook flowing through the fields separating the villages of Tidmarsh and Sulham in West Berkshire. The footpath leads walkers across the water by way of a wooden bridge. This is the view looking west towards Tidmarsh on a winter's day. A little further along the path is Tidmarsh Mill on the River Pang, once the home of Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington. The meadow just across the bridge here is called Oxley's Shaw. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

An elegant footbridge over the River Kennet next to Greenham Lock near Newbury, Berkshire. The bridge forms the entrance to a boatyard and dry dock. This section of the canal - or navigation (combined river and canal) began its construction in 1718 under the supervision of engineer John Hore of Newbury and in 1724 the section between Reading and Newbury was opened The remainder of the Kennet and Avon to join Bristol and Reading was built between 1794 and 1810.

A narrowboat negotiating the River Avon just upstream from its meeting with the Severn at Tewkwesbury, Gloucestershire. This has been produced as a digital painting using chalk effects. Just further upstream is the Severn-Avon lock which enables boats to join the main course of the Avon and continue up to Stratford-on-Avon. Tewkesbury grew up at this point as the meeting of the two rivers was strategically important for a town with a major abbey. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

The watermill at Hambleden on the River Thames between Henley and Marlow in Buckinghamshire. This picturesque, Grade 2 listed old mill has a long history, having been mentioned in the Domesday Book when the the rental value was £1 per year! Its location is the appropriately named Mill End, where the fast flowing Hambleden Bourne discharges into the Thames. Immediately below it is the weir, one of the longest on the Thames. From here the Chiltern Hills gradually rise to the north. Nikon D7000

A fishing boat from the Hastings fishing fleet being pushed into the water by a rusting tractor. When it returns it will be pulled up on to the beach by winch. Fishing boats have been beached on this area of shingle known as The Stade, an Anglo-Saxon word for landing place, for over a thousand years and this is now the largest beach launched fishing fleet in Britain.

Looking over the surrounding moat to Caerphilly Castle (Castell Caerffili) in Caerphilly, Wales. This shows the leaning tower - leaning since 1648! Built in the late 13th century by Gilbert de Clare in order to secure this part of Wales from being taken over by the Welsh leader Llewellyn, building was begun in 1268 and it was immediately attacked! Building was then recommenced in 1271 - the largest castle in ground area in Wales! Its surrounding moat and lakes are now a haven for wildlife.

The Kennet and Avon Canal seen from the historic site of West Mills in Newbury, Berkshire, England. In times past this was a hive of activity with the mills drawing their power from the River Kennet. Several wiers and sluices show where they once were. The Kennet and Avon Canal, constructed in the early 1700s to connect Bristol and London via Reading, would have been the means of transporting the mills' raw materials and end products. Now. after restoration in the later 1900s, it is busy with leisure boats.

An excursion boat taking sightseers along the River Thames, passing the 12th century church of All Saints at Bisham in Berkshire, England. This stretch of the river is famous as a centre for rowing. Next door to the church is the Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre and just downstream is Marlow in Buckinghamshire with its rowing clubs.
