A paddle in a punt


This morning, a number of my students and myself met at the King's Bridge and enjoyed a 40 minute tour along the River Stour in a classic "punt," or a flat bottom boat. Captain John brought close to 1,000 years to life as we gently drifted along this historical, vital waterway. Stunning views of the city from below street level!

with a nasty bit of history; used for everything from public humiliation, 
to the trail of witches)
