A fabulous riverside walk today in beautiful surroundings and lots of wildlife. The riverside gardens and ornate bridges are immaculately maintained providing an ever changing vista with rowers, joggers and families all enjoying a post Christmas Sunday morning stroll. The boating lake and colourful boats brought back happy childhood memories and the lovely restaurants along the Embankment and Rusell Park provide many dining choices. For visitors to the area don't miss the opportunity to extend your walk to Priory Marina which has an abundance of wildlife in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

The lock on the Great Ouse enables boats to navigate the river without having to go over a weir. Whilst I did not see any boats navigate the lock on my visit it was open and ready to use. It is on the opposite side of the river to the Embankment road and Russell Park but is easily reached by bridge if you want to make a closer inspection.
