The road here passes along the damn wall of Ingbirchworth Reservoir giving great views across the water. It is a popular spot for bird watching and fishing. During very dry spells and drought, the bridge over the river that was dammed can be seen emerging from the water, Summer Ford Bridge.

My new happy place! The views are hard earned with the steep climbs on the edges but once you're up, you can see everything!
