Beside and over the Moss

March 14, 2025 fishyfisharcade2 Comments

The Moss flows (appropriately enough) through the Moss Valley, an area of farmland dotted with woodland. Despite it’s close proximity to suburbs of Sheffield, it feels very much like you are in the heart of the countryside when you explore the area, which is threaded with a host of footpaths and lanes.

The two pictures today were taken beside The Moss, the first shot required a little patience while I waited for a couple of dogs to finish their excited leaps into the river (the ripples in the water are evidence of their fun).

I’m not sure what lies across the narrow bridge in the second picture. It might be access to farmland on the opposite bank, but from looking at a map, there is also another pond on that side of the river a little further downstream, so it’s possible it’s access for anglers. Whichever, it looks a little overgrown.

Moss Valley pond scenes

The 27th December 2024 was another misty day, and so I loaded another roll of Tri-X and headed out to the Moss Valley, a location that I’ve shot in similar conditions on previous occasions. However, despite being a valley replete with a river and a series of ponds, the area was almost completely mist free when I arrived. Still, waste not, want not – I took a wander down the valley from where I parked my car in the pub car-park at Ford and shot all twelve frames. The selection in today’s post were taken around a couple of the aforementioned ponds.
