Eel House

...River Alre, Hampshire

...'It is a modest but nicely proportioned building with a clay-tiled roof dating from the 1820s when the Harris family of nearby Arlebury Park commissioned this minor masterpiece of 19th century ingenuity. Its purpose was to trap mature eels near to the start of their once in a lifetime three thousand mile journey.'

...The Wayfarers Way is a 70-mile, long-distance walking route.
