The Hughenden Stream, a tributary of the River Wye, is an intermittent chalk stream which only flows when groundwater levels in the surrounding Chiltern Hills are high enough. 2017 has been a relatively dry year and the aquifer hasn't recharged enough to maintain a flow. In other years this channel can be full and overflowing.
