Watermint (Mentha aquatica) currently fills the air along the banks of Avon Water below Holmesley Tea Rooms, which is handy, as watermint, like other mints, makes a lovely herbal tea and is easy to identify and collect. In contrast to the dusty toned, mostly desiccated forest, the stream sides are corridors of verdancy. Flowers bloom and berries fatten fed by one of the forest streams which keeps flowing, even in very dry weather.
