The River Wenning is a river in England. It flows through parts of North Yorkshire and Lancashire. The Wenning is a smaller river that eventually joins the much larger River Lune.
Where the Wenning Begins
The River Wenning is formed when two smaller streams meet. These streams are called Clapham Beck and Austwick Beck.
Clapham Beck starts high up near the village of Clapham. Austwick Beck begins in an area called Crummackdale, which is above the village of Austwick. When these two streams join together, they create the River Wenning.
The Wenning's Journey
After it is formed, the River Wenning flows towards the west. As it travels, it passes through several towns and villages. These include High Bentham and Low Bentham. It also flows past the village of Wennington.
Joining the River Lune
The River Wenning continues its journey until it meets another, bigger river. It joins the River Lune about 1.5 kilometers (or 0.9 miles) west of Hornby. This is where the Wenning's waters become part of the Lune's flow.
The Wenning Valley
The area around the River Wenning is known as the Wenning valley. This valley is part of a larger district called Craven. The Craven district also includes the valleys of other rivers like Airedale, Wharfedale, and the upper part of Ribblesdale.
