Seven Springs, Gloucestershire

Seven Springs is a hamlet in the parish of Coberley in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire in England, south of Cheltenham. Located at the intersection of the A435 and the A436 roads, it is the source of the River Churn which flows south across the Cotswold through Cirencester and joins the River Thames near Cricklade. It is regularly argued as the real source of the River Thames. There is a plaque to this effect where the combined stream emerges from under the AndoversfordGloucester road, reading ''Hic tuus O Tamesine Pater septemgeminus Fons'' (''Here, Father Thames, is your seven-fold source'').〔Christopher Winn: I Never Knew That about the Thames (London: Ebury Press, 2010), p. 11.〕
==Source of the River Thames==
Seven Springs is regularly argued as the real source the River Thames as it is further from the mouth than the conventional location of Thames Head near Kemble. Additionally the River Churn flows all year round whereas the Winterbourne from Thameshead to Cricklade is often dry throughout the summer. The 29 miles of the River Churn would add to the Thames, making it long, longer than the River Severn, (354km) 220 miles the longest river in England and Wales and longer than the River Shannon at the longest river in the British isles.〔(BBC News, Gloucestershire. 15 May 2012 Could the River Thames be longer than the River Severn? by David Bailey )〕 The stream from Seven Springs is, however, joined at Coberley by a longer tributary which could claim to add further to the length of the Thames, with its source in the grounds of the National Star College at Ullenwood.
