In June 2019 ten intrepid explorers plus two dogs set off from the stepping stones in Bruton to walk to the source of the river Brue some six miles distant. Despite encounters with natives along the way they made it safely and enjoyed a packed lunch.
Restoring the river Brue
Amazing! Have long wondered where the source of R. Brue is. So pleased to know it now🌈
Is the source a walled well or spring?
Hi Tina,
There is a little stone arch built above the source, inscribed “HRH 1841” by Hugh Richard Hoare, who became the 4th Baronet, and inherited the Stourhead Estate, that year.
With best regards,
Ewan.
