The River Noe

1. The River Noe This slide show will be “taking a tour” of the River Noe’s Journey downstream, where it flows into the River Derwent. The river is located in Derbyshire, England.

2. Our First Assessment Location River forks into several branches as it reaches summit. River Splits Our Location

3. Picture taken towards its source.

4. Here, the river forks into two – on the overview map, you can clearly see which one’s which as they go upstream.

5. This bridge crosses the river at an angle – The river at this stage was only about 1-3 metres wide. Note the width of the bridge compared with others you will soon see downstream!

6. A side view of the bridge. As you can see, at this point the water is very shallow.

7. Here are some examples of the rock found here. Presumably after rain this may be underwater, as there are puddles. The rocks are quite large, and appear to have simply been dumped here by the river.

8. Here is an example of some erosion that has/is taking place. As you can see, water rushes into the corner before resuming its course to the left. The water is quite fast-flowing in these early stages.

9. A small rapid here as it flows over some more pebbles/rocks.

10. A zoomed out view of the location.

11. As you can see, the erosion round the bend has caused that side of the river to be very steep.

12. On the way to our second location, we stopped at a railway bridge to take some pictures.

14. Location 2 was a few miles Southeast. Location One Railway Viaduct Location Two

15. As you can see, the river has considerably widened, and now looks more like an actual river than the stream it was earlier.

16. The view downstream. The river is still shallow and as you can see from the ripples, still fast flowing.

17. A closer look reveals some rocks that are above water. As you can see they are a bit smaller than before.

18. The river taken from the top of the cutting it created.

19. A view into the distance. This particular picture shows the amount of trees that grew out of the side of the river, and nearby.

20. A calm area of the river between these ripples ahead.

21. A good view of the stones in the sunshine, clearly showing their smaller size and still shallow depth of the river, though wider.

22. A tree that actually seemed to grow underwater.

23. River Source Location Two Location Three

24. As you can see here, in Location 3 the river is very wide.

25. Looking towards the source, the calmness of the river creates an idyllic view.

26. Here’s a good view of the width of the river

27. As you can see, the bridges are more impressive here!

28. It’s hard to see with the reflection, but the rocks underneath are a little smaller, and the depth is deeper.

29. A picture of the road bridge.
