I think this page should be moved, as the river, although it flows for a while through the ceremonial county of Somerset and forms its border for longer, does not flow through the present administrative Somerset at all, which could lead to a certain amount of confusion. River Avon (Bristol) is a possible alternative, though as a Bristolian I may be biased in that respect. See Talk:River Avon.
What is the volume of this river? Anwar ( talk) 15:43, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I am slightly confused by the order and arrangement in this article. The course section follows the flow of the river from its source to the suspension bridge and then we have the navigation section which goes from Avonmouth back up towards Bath. Would there be any objection to reorganising this so that the flow of the river is followed?— Rod talk 21:02, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Why the caps for this common noun, please? It's just been reverted, so I'm probably missing something here. -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 13:15, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
According to the lede, it splits in two somewhere, then merges again.
Is that right? I can't see any evidence on Google Maps. I'm wondering if someone misunderstood the confluence of the Tetbury Avon, assuming it's the same river higher up? Rojomoke ( talk) 13:21, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
I would like to request a waterway template be made, much like the River Parrett one here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:River_Parrett_map
I don't have the skill to make it myself but I'm certain it would be an asset to the Bristol Avon page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by user:Inthemicz ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
The high tide comes over the weir at Hanham and Keynsham - Saltford is the tidal limit, hence the name (cf Freshford) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jongbray ( talk • contribs) 11:39, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
What else do people think would be needed before this article would meet the good article criteria?— Rod talk 17:31, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I found this clear & well written, & covers everything that one would expect to find here. (As a datum, I walked along the Avon in 1984, from Bath upstream through the Avon Gorge to Bradford-on-Avon, & every item of interest I could remember is covered in this article.) There are a few points, though, worth mentioning:
Other than those three concerns, I think this is a solid article worthy of GA status. -- llywrch ( talk) 21:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Move River Avon, Bristol to River Avon as it is the overwhelmingly primary usage. 2A02:C7F:31CF:6400:4D65:7B99:AD72:5BC6 ( talk) 18:09, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
