River Colne

There are several different rivers named River Colne, all in England:

  • River Colne, Essex — the river of Halstead, Colchester and Wivenhoe.
  • River Colne, Hertfordshire — tributary of the River Thames, flowing from south Hertfordshire to form the border of Buckinghamshire and Greater London with distributaries there and in Berkshire and Surrey.
  • River Colne, West Yorkshire — the river of Huddersfield and a tributary of the Calder.

The English canal network connects to the rivers in Hertfordshire and West Yorkshire.

Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “The murmurs of many a famous river on the other side of the globe reach even to us here, as to more distant dwellers on its banks; many a poet’s stream, floating the helms and shields of heroes on its bosom.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
