There is a fascinating corner of the Cotswold’s in Compton Abdale with a very unusual spring, which a respected builder from the nearby village of Hazleton built from Cotswold Stone in the 19th Century. Presumably some local landowner paid for it. The feature is shaped like a crocodile’s head and the spring water has been gushing out of the crocodile’s mouth ever since. Some days after lots of heavy rain, it is a truly spectacular sight.
I wish I could capture the sound of the pure rushing water for you but my photos will have to do.
I marvel at the fact that nature produces a constant supply of fresh water for us here. Would that other parts of the world were so lucky.
Heavenhappens 
I came upon this fantastic water source on a cycling trip from Birmingham to Exmouth Devon in September 2020 after speaking with a local man I filled my water bottles and drank plenty before I left. Beautiful ice cold water very welcome. I will revisited again.

Thank you for your kind words, I am already planning a ride next year, and will certainly make a B Line to the spring to refresh my water bottles.

LOL, we have REAL alligators here although I haven’t seen any rushing water coming from them!! They do make quite a splash as they jump into the waters from the riverbanks!
