Low bridges over stream The minor stream is a feeder of Langley Beck and is about to pass beneath the B6274; it's also crossed twice in the field. The nearer crossing is by a pipe which is supported by a concrete channel; the farther one must be a crossing point for farm vehicles.

Stream under B6274 at Alwent Looking downstream from the B6274 roadbridge, it's not immediately obvious that this small stream is about to disappear underground, only to reappear at the far side of the next field. The large-scale map doesn't make clear whether this behaviour is natural or man-made. After it issues, it continues uninterrupted to flow into Langley Beck.
