These springs are the source of the Stadbrook which forms the boundary between the parishes of Edington and Bratton.

Now the water issues from a pipe and into a shallow but clear pool. From here the water runs into the Stadbrook and on towards the lovely village of Bratton.

A pleasant walk through woods, sometimes with water on both sides. A gushing spring.
