River Great Ouse


The Great Ouse is a river in the east of England. At 143 miles (230 km) long, it is the fourth-longest river in the United Kingdom. The river has several sources close to the village of Wappenham in Northamptonshire. It flows through Brackley, Buckingham, Milton Keynes at Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell, Olney and Kempston, which is the current head of navigation. Passing through Bedford, St Neots, Godmanchester, Huntingdon, Hemingford Grey and St Ives, it reaches Earith, where there is a short tidal section connected by the Old Bedford River and New Bedford River to the lower river at Denver.
