Colne Water

Colne Water is a watercourse running through the Lancashire town of Colne.

Colne Water is formed at Covey Bridge near Laneshaw Bridge by the confluence of the River Laneshaw and Wycoller Beck.

From there, the river runs in a westerly direction, collecting Trawden Brook at Cottontree, to join Pendle Water at Lowerford, adjacent to the M65 motorway.

Famous quotes containing the word water:

    We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
