UK Waterway Relations
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This is a list of all the waterway relations of British waterways (rivers, streams, dykes, streams and so forth). Please feel free to add those not yet on the list!
Waterways are listed alphabetically. When a river has a prefix, it is still listed under the non-prefix part of the name. For example the Great Ouse is listed as 'Ouse, Great' and the North Tyne as 'Tyne, North'.
When there are multiple Rivers with the same name, eg the Avon, the location of the river should be put into the 'Notes' column.
