River Tone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

River Tone is a river in Somerset, that flows through Taunton and joins the River Parrett.

The River Tone is about 33 km (21 miles) long. It rises in the Brendon Hills and flows through Curry and Hay Moors which are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. At the end of its journey it joins up with the River Parrett at Burrowbridge. The river was straightened in the 1960's to prevent future flooding of Taunton town.
