Liden Lagoon, Swindon (5)
The main purpose of the lagoon is flood storage. The lagoon is fed by a stream flowing into it from the south-east. The outflow is to the north-east via the small weir hidden in this photograph by the footbridge on the left. The outlow eventually joins the River Cole which itself drains into the River Thames.
