River Hamble and Warsash - 15 December 2007
Yachts moored near Bursledon station

Looking up river from the A27 road bridge. The railway bridge can clearly be seen with the M27 motorway bridge visible just beyond it
Looking down river
Shore of the River Hamble, looking towards Bursledon
Most of the footpath along the Eastern shore of the River Hable is maintained to an excellent standard like this; it is just a shame that there is no footpath on the other side of the river
Various boats moored near the Universal Marina

A blue telephone box! As well as the various plasticky-looking modern yachts, there are a few more interesting boats here too
Houseboats moored on the River Hamble. For some reason, a life on the water has always appealed to me.
While the yellow Houseboat on the lefts looks like a wooden shed built on top of a barge, the larger Houseboat to its right is simply beautiful and knocks spots off the samey plastic yachts. It's also the largest vessel I saw while on my walk.

Looking downriver
Marshes beside the footpath. The path itself is on a 'causeway' which separates these marshes from the river itself.

Shipwreck! This is the most complete wreck I spotted although there are various others in worse states of repair, most of which would be submerged at high tide.

The Harbour Master's Office in Warsash - like a control tower for the river

Looking out across the estuary, Fawley Power Station can clearly be seen
