Moulsey Hurst is an open grassy plain with a gravelly subsoil, by the 

 Thames, opposite Hampton, and is used on occasion as a race-course. At 

 its eastern extremity are some shallow disused gravel-pits, and near these 

 a marshy patch. The Mole enters the Thames at the bridge, East 

 Moulsey. It is a sluggish winding river, with banks bordered by Willows. 

 The bordering meadows are somewhat damp, but not marshy; subsoil 

 alluvial.
