    Description

    Between Stock Bridge and Falshaw Bridge in Stockbridge is an excellent location for geography river studies. The river is fairly shallow in low river levels and there are about three locations where a group of 5-6 pupils can group on the side of the river. Although the river is highly modified due to the historic industry powered by water mills and by the more recent construction of the flood defence works, these are all really interesting talking points. The only drawback is dog poo. You have to be really careful where you step and where you put down your equipment and bags.
