RECENT heavy rainfall has led to swollen rivers and a watery transformation at one of Salisbury's favourite parks. 

Large parts of Queen Elizabeth Gardens have been submerged after the latest night of heavy rain.

The town path has disappeared limiting access to all but those wearing the appropriate footwear and the surrounding fields have all but disappeared.  

A pale sun emerged this morning providing stunning reflections across the park with dark and light contrasts and views across to Salisbury Cathedral.
