SP3779 : Blackthorn thicket by the Sowe Valley footpath near Westmorland Road, Coventry
taken 8 years ago, near to Binley, Coventry, England
Blackthorn thicket by the Sowe Valley footpath near Westmorland Road, Coventry
A continuing exploration of the valley finds blackthorn thickets everywhere. This is the one seen from within in SP3779 : Blackthorn thicket by the River Sowe near Westmorland Road, Coventry and coming into flower. Flowering time varies: just upstream is SP3879 : Open space in the Sowe Valley east of Sowe Bridge, Walsgrave, Coventry; the more open situation may be a factor. The river is out of view, right. This land had other uses once: behind the camera is a decaying concrete security fence post.
Sowe Valley, Coventry
The River Sowe rises in Bedworth, flowing south towards Coventry; it winds through the city's eastern suburbs before joining the Warwickshire Avon near Stoneleigh. The Sowe Valley Footpath follows the river for over eight miles, mostly through naturalistic green spaces. Link
