BRASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

On our last day of our holiday this year in July, we decided to head to Hereford. Hereford city and cathedral are stunning. But what I love about Hereford is the river that runs right through out. Talking to the locals, they said they have never known the river to be so low.

Less than a month after our holiday and visit to Hereford, it seems the heatwave caused the river to be just 2cm in places. Fish were dying due to lack of oxygen in the water. It was a real environmental crisis last summer.

Here’s hoping that the River Wye is in full recovery mode.
