ChrisB Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 There is an extremely small distance between the sources of the Little Ouse and the Waveney. Norfolk is virtually an island. It is said there were plans to canalise them together in the 1700s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Talking of projects like that, what a shame the Fens Link stalled due to the 2008 economic crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairTmiddlin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Wikipedia has this just as I remember my Norfolk geography The source of the River Waveney is a ditch on the east side of the B1113 road between the villages of Redgrave, Suffolk and South Lopham, Norfolk. The ditch on the other side of the road is the source of the River Little Ouse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 its just a shame then that google maps has labelled the ditch to the west of the B1113 as the River Waveney then. and that the ditch in question then goes to join the river little ouse.
