The River Windrush is a trout stream the rises from aquifers in the Cotswolds, and flows through Bourton on the Water, The Barringtons, Burford and Whitney before joining the River Thames before Oxford. The river is a natural breeding ground for both brown and rainbow trout as well as grayling.The bridge in the panorama also acts as a wier. The boards in the foreground are used to control the level of the river in order to drive the very old water wheel on the other side of the river. The wheel has an old water pump attached which is still used to provide water for animals.
