River_Thames002
SEVEN SPRINGS, Gloucestershire

The unofficial source of the Thames is 17.5km away from Thames Head at Seven Springs, in the parish of Coberley, Gloucestershire. Here, some 8km south of Cheltenham, the river Churn rises to flow south-eastwards to join the other headwaters near Cricklade. Seven Springs, at 200m above sea level, is much higher than Thames Head. Here, in a hollow by a busy road, a small stream appears briefly from its underground passage and there is a stone with an inscription in Latin: Hic tuus o pater Tamesine septemgeminus fons.
