Talk:Avon Gorge

I've removed the line about the Avon Gorge being carved by a glacier. Not credible given the width, elevation and complete lack of evidence of glaciation. Its creation is still uncertain, but that can be ruled out. User:Fremsley 16:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

What else is needed to get this article to FA
This article has now been a fairly stable Good Article for over three years and I am looking for ideas about what would be needed to get it to meet the Wikipedia:Featured article criteria? This is one part of the Featured topic about Physical geography of Somerset. The rules about FT's have changed and we need to get one of the GAs included in the topic up to FA status or the whole FT will be demoted to a Good topic. Any ideas appreciated.&mdash; Rod talk 21:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Length of gorge
It's not immediately apparent to me where the stated length comes from but it does seem to slightly under-represent the feature. The sides begin to close in a few hundred metres downstream of the A3029 Brunel Way bridge and open up once again near Sneyd Park, arguably 2 miles distant. Of course, one person's gorge is another steep-sided valley, but is there a reference? Geopersona (talk) 10:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
