Upstream from here, the Clyst here meanders over a farmed floodplain. To the west, the land rises to the sandstone ridge on which Topsham is built. text/html 2007-06-22T11:25:12GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.682982 -3.457612 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/473706 Topsham is built on a ridge of Permian red sandstone at the confluence where the smaller River Clyst flows into the Exe estuary. This shows an outcrop called Red Rock, to the west of the Clyst where it runs through reed beds toward the RSPB Bird Sanctuary and its outlet to the Exe. This section, downstream of the Bridge Inn and weir, is tidal. text/html 2007-06-21T23:29:49GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.686637 -3.460132 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/473493 Agricultural land adjoining the valley of the River Clyst, to the east of Topsham; image taken from the field at the rear of Elm Grove Road. The Bridge Inn and weir are downstream a few hundred yards (right) from this location. text/html 2007-06-21T02:40:44GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.826774 -3.421904 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/472656 Bradninch Church and village from Castle Hill, which rises to farmland to the north-west of the village. The M5 motorway, which runs along the Culm Valley, can be seen in the middle distance. text/html 2007-06-11T01:49:13GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.693374 -3.460766 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/462592 The River Clyst flows into the Exe estuary south of Topsham, Devon. This image shows the section where it meanders through fields to the north and east of Topsham, with a riverside path accessible as a nature walk from Highfield Farm, Blue Ball Road. text/html 2007-06-11T01:30:11GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.676782 -3.457137 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/462586 Bowling Green Lane is a small road that skirts the edge of the Bowling Green Marsh RSPB bird sanctuary at the outlet of the River Clyst. It's generally quiet and popular for leisure walks as it only has vehicular access at one end; the other, at Riversmeet House, gives pedestrian access to Topsham via the Goat Walk footpath. text/html 2007-06-11T00:46:31GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/15072 Ray Girvan 50.801861 -1.149936 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/462565 Anns Hill Road, looking northward from near the Barley Mow pub toward the junction with Forton Road. It's an unremarkable terraced residential road that has changed little, except for the vast increase in cars, since my childhood living here in the early 1960s.
