Yarwell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yarwell is a village on the River Nene in the extreme East of the English county of Northamptonshire near the border with Cambridgeshire.

Its name is derived from 'the spring where the yarrow grows'.

The preserved Nene Valley Railway has a station at Yarwell Junction. Before closure in the 1960s, this was the junction of two lines, one from Market Harborough and the other from Northampton. It is on the Cambridgeshire side of the Nene at grid reference TL078970.
