The End of an Era

We visited a little site we haven't visited in many many moons as we were led to believe a road was being built through it..

 

 

someone had attempted to build a shelter, I say attempted as you can see why!!

The ground was well walked over, there was some litter and a lot of the hazel had been cut back

 

 

there were still some crab apples on the trees, a nice find for this time of year

 

 

It always had a good source of water but when the road is built I fear for it's purity..

 

 

the young ash plantation had all been cut down

 

 

and the ground had all been fenced off for a considerable distance, such a pity because at one time this little place had such potential now it seems to have lost a lot of it's magic, somehow I don't think we will ever be back.
