The River Wye is prone to flood at several locations on its journey from the Welsh mountains to the Severn Estuary. The other day we went to see the flooding in Ross on Wye. The main town is well above the river so it's possible to stand at a high vantage point and see the extent of flooding as well as venture down to the flooded riverside fields, parks etc. Here the stranded benchs usually give their occupants a view of the river itself.
