View of the Kingsbridge Estuary

The Kingsbridge Estuary (also, erroneously, known as the 'Salcombe Estuary') is a ria located in the South Hams area of Devon running from Kingsbridge in the north to its mouth at the English Channel near Salcombe.

It is an extreme example of a ria (drowned river valley), because it is disproportionate to the size of the small streams which flow into it.

Prior to the sea level rise at the end of the ice age, it was the valley of a river.

I thought the ria was most appropriate following yesterday's rhea!

The bright yellow foliage on the left is of a Golden Wych Elm.
