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.

Talking of projects like that, what a shame the Fens Link stalled due to the 2008 economic crisis.

the map actually shows them joining, these show at the very least just a few metres separation

Hi Griff,

All that is missing is a caption of "There be dragons".

Great map, what is the OS number?

[grendel]

its southwest of Thetford, just south of the A1066 Thetford - Diss road near the B1113

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

[grendel]

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.

How fact, if it is,  is corrupted!!!
