Stream that drains from the River Thames, near Ashton Keynes This is part of the extensive management of this watery area. The river is bounded on either side by former gravel pits, now lakes. The stream in the photo appears to contain a higher volume of water than what remained in the young River Thames. When we arrived at Ashton Keynes and saw the course of the river, it became clear why this level of management is needed. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7078688">SU0494 : The River Thames takes a man-made course through Ashton Keynes</a>
