SP3271 : River Avon at Stoneleigh Abbey
taken 11 months ago, near to Ashow, Warwickshire, England

River Avon at Stoneleigh Abbey
The Warwickshire Avon, artificially widened here in the early 19th century by the landscape gardener Humphrey Repton, is seen from the summerhouse or gazebo also designed by Repton: see SP3271 : Summerhouse standing on a sluice, Stoneleigh Abbey and SP3171 : Depression. The square building poking out from behind the trees is the west wing of the mansion, a large classical building of the early 18th century.
