River Deben
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 22
)
(Preview)
The source of the River Deben can be found just past Debenham (Deben-ham meaning ford) at Aspall, this is probably the least spoiled river in all of Suffolk. The fresh water of The Deben discharges at the weir just south of Ufford, the river reach becomes quite wide from here on to where it flows out int...

River Orwell
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 32
)
(Preview)
This is only an estuaral river, meaning it is served by the sea up to the point where The River Gipping discharges its fresh water into The Orwell at Ipswich. The two are quite separate rivers but some regard them as one river. At the point of Pipers Vale on the North bank of the Orwell just outside Ipswich...

River Lark
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
It is somewhat difficult to trace the source of The Lark but checking on the Ordnance Survey maps it would appear to start somewhere near Bradfield St. George, by Rushbrooke, through Bury St. Edmunds, via the Fornhams, through West Stow and via a series of gravel workings at Lackford. It then continu...

(Preview)
Here again the source starts from Springs at Redgrave and Lopham Fen only a few yards from the source of the Waveney. The Little Ouse flows West to The Wash at Kings Lynn, the Waveney flows East to The North Sea. I know the stretches at Knettishall Heath, Santon Downham, Thetford and Brandon then it co...

The name conjures up all sorts of thoughts! Here it is at Combs Ford looking from the bridge towards the Old Mill in Stowmarket, the Rat discharges itself into the River Gipping just a few hundred yards away from here
