Does anyone know how this pleasant area acquired the name ‘The Devils Garden’?
We went walking along the riverbank between the trees and spotted quite a few butterflies flitting about and foraging in the sunshine, perfick. Can you see Oakfield moored in the central picture? There have been a few boats mooring and passing by while we have been here. There seems to be water pipelines running hereabouts by what it says on theses cast iron covers.

We liked it downstream even better then up. No. Doesn't deserve that name does it? xxoo
One of the lockies once told us that it's called Devil's Garden as things, mainly plants, disappeared off boats during the night and it was assumed the Devil had taken them. However you might notice cows coming down to the boats early in the morning - they are very partial to nice plants!
