River Ancholme

The source of the River Ancholme is at Spridlington. When it reaches Bishopbridge it becomes navigable. From this point the River Ancholme has been changed into a canal. Despite this, it has its own special beauty arising from the flatness and space of the landscape combined with peace - you can walk for miles along the bank without meeting another person. After a further 31km / 21 miles the River Ancholme joins the River Humber at South Ferriby.
