Historic Building on River Street
Savannah’s riverfront has been at the center of its history since the city was founded in 1733.

Water Staircase
Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls, surrounded by woodland and farmland, carved out by the River Ure over an almost one-mile stretch on its descent to mid-Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales of England, near the village of Aysgarth. One could see the natural formation of “stairs” for water to flow through the river.
Clear Water Stone Designs
There are stone random designs at the bottom of a river, but clear water reveals such. What a glorious sight!

An Unusual Sight
While it is usual to see sail and motor boats on the river by Southport, North Carolina, it was very unusual to spot a tug boat hauling a home on the water!
Transport Ship

Boats near Old Dee Bridge
River Dee is 70 miles long and stretches through Wales and Chester. On the bank of the river is the ‘Groves’, a paved promenade complete with bandstand, cafés, restaurants and public houses. Chester’s River Dee has phenomenal wildlife and all sorts of activities from river cruises, kayaking, canoeing, nature spotting tours, stand up paddleboarding, white water rafting and boats for hire.
Pools of Water
Walking on the banks along the Lower Asygarth Falls one can see water captured in shallow rocky formations when the level in the river has fallen. There are also beautiful designs in the foam and stagnant water on the sides of River Ure.
Stalactite Art
The cathedral sized main chamber at Poole’s Cavern, England is carved from limestone by an ancient river. Walking through the cavern reveals nature’s artwork formed by stalactites of various sizes and shapes.
Lendal Bridge and Tower
Lendal Bridge was the second of the three modern road bridges built over the River Ouse at York (the first being Ouse Bridge which has existed since as early as the ninth century). The bridge replaced an earlier ferry service, which had operated from Barker Tower, on the south-west bank, to Lendal Tower.
Lendal Tower has stood next to the River Ouse since about the 1300. It was originally part of the City’s defenses. In medieval times a great iron chain which was stored in the tower was pulled across the river to Barker Tower on the opposite bank.
Cruising on River Ouse in York
While cruising on river Ouse in York, spot many famous city landmarks, including the breath-taking gothic beauty of York Minster, Clifford’s Tower, one of the only fortifications left of the castle that oversaw York after 1066, the many bridges that cross the Ouse, the serene Museum Gardens, the medieval Guildhall and much! Biking along the river path is optional.
Black-headed Ibis on a Rocky River
Low water levels in the river in Bera expose the rocky landscape, but still provide pockets of water for a black-headed Ibis – a large wader with a white body and bare black head and neck. Males and females look similar and both have grayish tail feathers.
