The Flowing Spring This pub, which offers vegan and gluten-free items on its menu, is believed to be the only one with this name in England. The eponymous spring runs along the far side of the car park, which can be reached from Spring Lane. "Here the chalk of the Chiltern Hills slips below the gravel and silt of the Thames flood plain and the water is forced up through the spring. Prior to mains water, the pub used the spring for its water supply and, in previous centuries, the spring was hailed as a cure for eyesight problems. ... some say there is a tiny shrimp resident in the stream, not found anywhere else in the world." The oldest part of the pub dates from the late 17th century and it has been a pub since at least the 1840s. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://theflowingspringpub.co.uk/history.html" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://theflowingspringpub.co.uk/history.html">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Hops in the Hedge Gone literally to seed at this time of year, a spray of wild hops straggles up a dead stalk beside the Thames path. Beyond is the flat meadow which is all along here between the river and the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills visible in the background.
