River Idle near Lound, Nottinghamshire

Originally uploaded for the Guess Where UK group.
This is the River Idle taken from Chain Bridge Lane, near the village of Lound. The view is northwards towards Home Farm, the prominent set of buildings in the middle distance.

The area is surrounded by both active and disused sand and gravel extraction operations. The disused, flooded workings are now wetlands forming the Idle Valley Nature Reserve.
