River Meden

People like you are child sponsors
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 with the River Maun near Bothamsall 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.
