Stream through the edge of Avening
The stream from Cherington Pond grows quickly and by the time it has reached Avening just over a mile away it is this big, with the obvious potential to flood much more in winter, judging by the flood plain and the size of the bridge. The minor road into Avening from the east crosses the stream on this bridge, being used by a tractor.
