Place is currently wrong on gMaps and I've suggested an edit. While it did have "yellow water" it also has tyres and stuff in the little brook, but does lead to a Windows XP wallpaper hill.
I used to spend a lot of time down here with my mates as a kid, it was always a favourite spot to eat our sandwiches and cool our feet in the stream. Everybody on Holmewood will know this place from the 70s and 80s but these days kids only want flashing lights and spending money. Fresh air and natural surroundings win everytime for me. Park the car by the bridge put out a blanket and let the day go by.
