Swallowhead Springs feed the River Kennet at West Kennet. |
Swallowhead Springs is one of the main sources of the River Kennet and are thought to have been sacred in ancient times.
The Kennet is fed by several springs and streams, particularly the Sambourne and Winterbourne streams which flow south from near the villages of Uffcott and Broad Hinton and merge to the west of Avebury village. The Kennet continues to run south until Swallowhead Spring where it turns westward on its way to join the River Thames at Reading in Berkshire.
From Swallowhead Spring, a footpath heads uphill southwards to West Kennet Long Barrow and East Kennet Long Barrow. |
West Kennet Long Barrow
is half a mile from the road. |
