Newenden: River Rother breaks its banks

Newenden Lake? No flooded fields looking eastwards (above and below)

Although the photos of the 'Newenden Lake' look spectacular, the fields flooded are water meadows. They are, however, planted with wheat which should be OK providing the water subsides in the next seven days or so.
