A Slide Show of The Old Meander at Loves Bridge: As an addition to the Newbridge to Loxwood walk, a pictorial stroll along this overgrown stretch of the river that was isolated when the engineers building the canal straightened the river rather than build two aqueducts over this meander. It is now a conservation walk.
