Summary
| Description |
English: Cliffe Cut, River Ouse Taken from the cliff on Chapel Hill near the golf club and looking down onto the town. The stretch of river in the foreground is Cliffe Cut undertaken when the Ouse was canalised in the late 1790s. The original course of the river meandered to the east by the boathouse next to Hilman Close, the circular set of flats. Beyond the river can be seen the Heart Of Reeds which can be found 291632 along with an opposite view. It was also at this point that Britain's worst ever avalanche occurred on Christmas Eve 1836 when a 15 foot snowdrift perched on this cliff top collapsed onto houses below killing 8 people. The current Snowdrop Inn below is named after this event.
Other views which can be taken in include the castle to the right and the downs at Kingston ridge on the left hand side. |
