Seven Springs, Gloucestershire

Seven Springs is a hamlet in the heavily wooded parish of Coberley in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire in England, 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Cheltenham.

Including the intersection of the A435 and A436 roads, it has the sources of the River Churn, which flows south across almost a full cross-section of the Cotswolds, through Cirencester, and joins the Thames near Cricklade.

[3]Two plaques at the site read "Hic tuus o Tamesine Pater septemgeminus fons" (Latin for "Here, O Father Thames, is your sevenfold spring").

Furthermore, the springs at the site flow throughout the year, whereas those at the official source of Thames Head are only seasonal.

[5][6] The stream from Seven Springs is joined within Coberley by a still longer, less reliable tributary, which amounts to the longest headwater of the Thames river system.
