The River Witham in Lincoln

The River Witham flows very sedately through the centre of Lincoln, feeling more like a canal than a river. It is joined at Brayford Pool (seen in the first picture below) by the Foss Dyke, a man made canal the joins the Witham with the River Trent at Torksey to the west.

After Lincoln, the Witham flows through the flat Lincolnshire countryside, passing Bardney and Woodhall Spa, before eventually entering the North Sea at Boston on the east coast.
