Earlier in my walk yesterday, before the rain began, and I was at the north end of Clifton Ings, beside the boundary with Rawcliffe Ings, and looking south-south-east towards the city centre.
It's a very rural view, with the only indication of the nearby city being the upper part of a clock tower just visible above the trees. It took me a while to work out where it is - it is at the former Terry's confectionary factory beside the racecourse south of the city centre. The former factory site has now been converted to apartments.
It was very quiet here beside the river yesterday. It is a popular place for young people to meet at weekends and sometimes after school. The rope hanging from the tree is a popular swing, although with the river higher than normal, they would get their feet wet using it at the moment!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
This can be a lovely place to walk, but the rural scene here is a little misleading - when the trees loose their leaves more of the city buildings become visible.
Jesika, there are approved plans to raise the height of a flood bank near here which would adversely affect an SSSI. More details can be found here - https://rawcliffemeadows.com/

I resisted the temptation! With the river higher than normal anyone swinging on there might get rather wet at the moment.
