Kennall Vale - Photography Week 44 (2016)

Kennall Vale is a nature reserve on the site of a former gunpowder factory. The River Kennall flows through the site and was used to power the factory whilst trees were grown to minimise the impact of accidental explosions (1) & (2).

Today, there are waterfalls, woodland walks, and the remains of old buildings gradually merging with the undergrowth. This combination makes Kennall Vale an ideal venue for autumn photography:
