At this little pocket in the County of Gloucestershire is Seven Springs, the official source of the iconic River Thames. At 229 miles long, the Thames is the UK's longest river, flowing through southern England all the way to London.

Fantastic stretch of double track running through a lush quiet woodland. Workman's Wood is one of six woods that makes up the Cotswolds Commons and Beechwoods National Nature Reserve (NNR). Its steep sided banks lined with beech trees and bubbling brooks make it an idyllic woodland to cycle through.

Lovely gravel track connecting Welsh Way to Daglingworth via Quarry

Local hotspot at the weekend.

Pause on your walk on a footbridge below this weir and look around for small birds and watch the water

Passes Daglingworth Quarry. Hanson Aggregates works Daglingworth Quarry, extracting limestone aggregate for road building, ornamental driveway stone and dust for brick making. Extraction of stone from the site is believed to have started in 1905, since when it has been in almost continuous use. The planning permission for the quarry expires in 2042 and progressive restoration is currently being undertaken. A wide variety of fossils are known from the Daglingworth Quarry. Oysters, pectinids (scallops) and echinoids (sea urchins) can be found within the Taynton Limestone and Hampen Formations. Discovered within the sandy lenses of Hampen Formation are rare plant fragments, and dinosaur footprints have been found near the top of the formation. These are now on display at the quarry office. The Shipton Member is generally devoid of fossils except, for a few beds containing borings and burrows made by marine animals such as molluscs and worms. At the top of this member is the Excavata bed where gastropods and the echinoids, Clypeus and Cidaris are found in abundance. Trace fossils, borings and bivalves are found in many beds throughout the Ardley Member. Fossils from large reptiles have been found from near the top of the member

Good way to cross the A417. Could be muddy in depths of winter I suspect.

Ask anyone local and they'll tell you that this is the real source of the Thames. Unlike that place at Kemble, which is usually dry anyway, these 7 (seven) springs keep bubbling up the goods all year. Pity that it's a truck stop nowadays.

well worth a visit , you really feel the atmosphere!

This huge earthwork is all that remains of one of the largest Roman amphitheatres in Britain. Built in the early 2nd century, the amphitheatre — which measures roughly 150 feet (46 m) by 135 feet (41 m) — would have held around 8,000 spectators. At the time the amphitheatre was built, Cirencester (known then as Corinium) was the second largest city in England, second only to London, with a population of more than 10,000. The monument, which is managed by English Heritage, is free to enter during reasonable daylight hours.
