Cress Beds, Letcombe Bassett
Like many chalk streams round here the Letcombe Brook just downstream of the source has been widened out to make cress beds.
Commercial growing has long ago ceased but the cress still grows here as you can see in the upstream part of the picture.
Unfortunately the very real threat of infection from Liver Fluke http://www.torrens.org.uk/FFF/Fluke.html has put people off collecting wild cress, although most food pundits seem agreed that it's fine to make soup with it, presumably because it's boiled.
