The Pang has flooded the road in the dip at the foot of the hill. It is quite fast-flowing at this point.
Upper Pang - springs & sources :: SU4981

Following a winter of heavy rainfall, the chalk aquifer which feeds the River Pang has again become saturated, causing the groundwater to rise in many springs and pools for the second year in succession. In 2014 the westernmost sources of the Pang are rising beyond West Ilsley, and the usually dry upper sections of the Pang have flooded roads and houses in all the villages along its course.
