Little Avon River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Avon River is a small river partly in southern Gloucestershire and partly in South Gloucestershire. For much of its length it forms the boundary between these two counties. It rises to the east of Wickwar, passes near Charfield, Stone and Berkeley, and enters the River Severn via Berkeley Pill. It was formerly navigable up to moorings at Berkeley, (but a flood-prevention scheme, built in the 1960s, now prevents navigation more than a few hundred metres upstream).
