River Meden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Meden is a river in Nottinghamshire, England. Its source lies just north of Huthwaite, near the Derbyshire border, and from there it flows north east through Pleasley and Warsop before merging temporarily with the River Maun near Bothamsall. The rivers divide after a short distance and go on separately to a point near Markham Moor where they once more combine to form the River Idle.

The section of the river east of Pleasley, known as Pleasley Vale, is known for its limestone scenery and mills, while part around Perlethorpe, in Thoresby Park, has been dammed to form a large ornamental lake called Thoresby Lake.
