ProgressionNew River - WellandThe WashNorth Sea

The New River is a drainage system in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. Rising just east of Sisson's Farm near Crowland it flows very roughly northwards, following the general line of the River Welland but a little further to the east. It skirts the settlements of Crowland and Cowbit before flowing into the Welland at Cradge Bank near Little London.
