The river rises in a field that was part of the site of the Battle of Naseby in north-western Northamptonshire. The parish of Naseby lies across a watershed from which streams also flow to the rivers Avon and Nene. It flows east past Desborough and the Eleanor cross at Geddington, then through the grounds of Rushton Hall,[1] before turning south and passing through the parkland of Boughton House where it was extensively canalised and landscaped in the late 17th century.[2] It then flows between Kettering and Barton Seagrave where its valley was excavated during the creation of Wicksteed Park to provide a large lake for public amenity use.[3] It finishes its journey by flowing past Burton Latimer and Finedon, joining the Nene just south of Wellingborough.
