Oxbow formation, River Bollin (2)
There are several oxbow lakes along the former course of the River Bollin. This is the second of two oxbows here known to have formed over the winter of 1973-74 SJ8082 : Oxbow formation, River Bollin (1). The levee of the second oxbow, to the right of the tree is an expanse of fine alluvial sands, but the oxbow was still connected to the river (to the right) by a very small channel.
