Viewed across Monnow Way. Parret Close leads to Tees Close and Meon Close. Most streets in Bettws are named after rivers. The choice of names is interesting. Doubtless many of the local residents (and also the occasional passing Geographer) would not know even a rough location for some of river names used. For example, Meon was unknown to me when I took the photo. It is a fairly short river (21 miles or 38 kilometres) in Hampshire. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1998625 The contributor of that photo stated "It is hardly big enough to qualify as a river".
