I have 2 versions of this shot and couldn't decide which one I preferred, so I will probably post the other version at some point.
Have taken this pov many a time but the bridge is now completely out of use due to decaying structure.
Not sure if it will ever be repaired.

Apologies for another shot from Angrholm but I thought at long last and after many failed attempts this would be the evening to bag this one in full sun and finally move on. Standing in unbroken sunshine for over two hours, my only concern was the shadow across the track from the nearby tree out of shot. I needn't have worried myself as the unexpected was about to happen.With just minutes to go some light cloud appeared and that was that. Although still a magnificent sight and sound the thin cloud just took the edge of what might have been. Now I'll have to climb that hill again!

The ruins of Waverley Abbey are situated in a peaceful loop of the River Wey, and still give an impression of the solitude experienced by the monks who founded a monastery here almost 900 years ago.
The monastery at Waverley, the first Cistercian house to be established in Britain, was founded by William Gifford, Bishop of Winchester, in 1128. It was colonised with 12 monks and an abbot from Aumone in France. By 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey buildings were badly flooded. This became a common occurrence and as a result the abbey was substantially rebuilt during the 13th century.
It continued to grow in the 14th century. The monks and lay brothers farmed the surrounding land, were active in the Cistercian wool trade and provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for the sick.
In 1536, with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the site passed to Sir William Fitzherbert, treasurer of the king’s household. Much of the abbey was dismantled and some of the stone was reused to build Sir William More’s house at Loseley, a few miles to the east.
Waverley Abbey was founded in 1128 by William Giffard, bishop of Winchester. It was home to a Cictercian community for more than 400 years. Up to 70 monks and lay brothers lived and worshipped here. This bulding is the ruins of what was the west range that comprised the lay brothers refectory with a vaulted cellar beneath. The abbey was closed during the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII in 1536.
