The River Nene at Wadenhoe, Northants
The River Nene, which has three sources in Northamptonshire, reaches the sea at The Wash. It is the slowest flowing river in England. The Nene Valley has a broad flood plain, and at Wadenhoe, in between Thrapston and Oundle, the river splits into branches with the nearest one becoming the millstream for the ancient watermill. The navigable part of the river is reached via the lock gates on the right of the picture. In the distance on the left can be seen the church spire at the tiny village of Achurch, which overlooks the Nene Valley.
