River Leen

The River Leen rises in the Robin Hood Hills just outside Kirkby-in-Ashfield. It then flows through the grounds of Newstead Abbey, skirts Hucknall, goes through Papplewick and on through Bestwood Country Park, and following the route of the Leen Valley into suburban and urban Nottingham, passing through Bulwell, Basford, Radford, and Lenton (which is named after the river) before joining the River Trent opposite Wilford.
