Geology/Geomorphology: | The Avon River at this locality has excavated a gorge in Lower Carboniferous siltstones and sandstones. The Channels area is marked by straight river valley sections until angular rather than sweeping meander bends and appear to be structurally controlled. | |

Management: | The gorge form could be partially obscured by major reservoir construction. |
