Another lovely day here so went to this cute little riverside village on the Avon. A small single track working railway runs along through the houses close to the Avon which has the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge over it a tad upstream. A major arterial road, in and out of Bristol-the Portway, runs parallel hence the need for two bridges. The road bridge is a viaduct and the subject of a brief film (out shortly!) I made a month or so ago.

Sorry should have mentioned the fact that it is tidal there and we have one of the highest tides in the world at 17ft plus!!
 
The river does run strongly but as it’s so deep we don’t get the rapids effect. In fact the Severn estuary, into which the Avon flows, has its bore which races up the river like a tidal wave at really high tides and people surf it-quite spectacular. Your Google Earth pic is perfect and in fact I flew from behind that road bridge from a lovely little greensward a few weeks ago-vid in post-production right now.
