The River Leam and All Saints' Church from the suspension bridge.
By the 1870s, Robert Forrest knew that he could not stop the 'rabble' and their use of the beach, which he deemed 'not legitimate'.
The gardens on the banks of the Leam were laid out from the 1830s onwards.

Nowadays, deemed the prettiest village in England, it relies on tourism for its income.
