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.
Our First Assessment Location
River Splits
River forks into several branches as it reaches summit.
Our Location
Picture taken towards its source.
Here, the river forks into two – on the overview map, you can clearly see which one’s which as they go upstream.
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!
A side view of the bridge. As you can
see, at this point the water is very
shallow.
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.
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.
A small rapid here as it flows over some
more pebbles/rocks.
A zoomed out view of the location.
As you can see, the erosion round the bend has caused that side of
the river to be very steep.
On the way to our second location, we stopped at a railway bridge to take some pictures.

Location Two
As you can see, the river has
considerably widened, and now looks more like an
actual river than the stream it was earlier.
The view downstream. The river is still shallow and as
you can see from the ripples, still fast flowing.
A closer look reveals some rocks that are above water. As you can see they are a bit
smaller than before.

A view into the distance. This particular picture shows the amount of trees that grew out of the
side of the river, and nearby.
A calm area of the river between these ripples
ahead.
A good view of the stones in the sunshine, clearly showing their smaller size and still shallow depth of the river, though wider.
A tree that actually seemed to grow underwater.

Location Two
Location Three
As you can see here, in Location 3 the river is very
wide.
Looking towards the source, the calmness of the river creates an
idyllic view.
Here’s a good view of the width of the river
As you can see, the bridges are more impressive here!
It’s hard to see with the reflection, but the rocks underneath are a little smaller, and the depth is
deeper.
