Meanders
Rivers Hardly ever maintain a straight route as they travel to larger lakes, rivers or oceans. Most rivers form a series of bends and curves. The bends, known as meanders, reflect the way in which a river minimizes resistance to flow and spreads energy as evenly as possible along its course. If something is in the way of a stream or river it has to go round it for example a tree or a rock. After this first bend, the river hits the outside of the bend with more and more force to erode the riverbank and enlarge the meander. This stream is the Bourn Brook and it meanders across the Woodgate Valley flood plain.
