  1. River Avon By Rhys Hanling

  2. The River Avon • There are two River Avons, so in this presentation I am going to talk about the one from Naseby to Tewksbury and the one that flows through Bristol. • There is an Avon ring and in this ring the one from Naseby to Tewksbury meets the River Severn.

  3. The source • The River Avon starts in Northamptonshire in a little town called Naseby. Then it flows through Stratford and the vale of Evesham. • The River Avon ends at the mouth to the Bristol channel, but just before it enters the Bristol channel it joins the River Severn in Tewksbury. The River Avon gets its name from the source Naseby or Stratford upon Avon. (Naseby and Tewksbury)

  4. meanders • In fact the River Avon is made of meanders from Naseby all the way to Tewksbury. A meander is a curve in the water and when more water comes through it erodes the land. Sometimes oxbow lakes are formed by there being a meander but the fast flowing water erodes away the top of the meander and then the depositioned materials block of the meander from the main flow of water. • (Naseby and Tewksbury)

  5. How long and deep is it? • From its source in Naseby to the mouth in Tewksbury the River Avon is 75 miles long or 121 km. • The River Avon is 7 fathoms or 12.8016 m deep in the deepest part of the River. That’s why we get danger signs around Rivers but another dangerous thing about Rivers is that they have strong currents. • ( Naseby and Tewksbury)

  6. Were it goes through • The River Avon goes through many towns and cities, but I chose Bristol because I have been to Bristol a few times and my dad grew up there. But another reason is that this section of the River is tidal ( which means that when the tide comes in from the Bristol channel the water level gets higher). And also there is a suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain. • (Bristol)

  7. When I went to the SS Great Britain

  8. Quiz • 1. How long is the river Avon from Naseby to Tewksbury? • 2. How deep is it in the deepest part of Naseby? • 3. What is the bridge called in Bristol?

  9. Any questions?
