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 river knows the way to the sea;
    Without a pilot it runs and falls,
    Blessing all lands with its charity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
