==Geography== [[File:Yiewsley Slough Arm Trout Lane 1.jpg|thumb|upright|The Slough Arm of the Grand Union Canal viewed from the Trout Lane Bridge]] The western side of Yiewsley lies within the [[Colne Valley Regional Park]]. Here the [[River Colne, Hertfordshire|River Colne]] forms the county boundary between the [[London Borough of Hillingdon]] and [[Buckinghamshire]]. The confluence of the [[Frays River]] and [[River Pinn]] also occurs in this area and there are several man-made lakes. After climbing over the [[Chiltern Hills]] by the use of 52 locks from the [[Marsworth]] Junction, the [[Grand Union Canal]] turns east in Yiewsley to route towards [[London]]. Half a mile north of this turn, the five miles long [[Slough Arm]] of the canal leaves the Grand Union main line at the [[Cowley, London|Cowley Peachey Junction]], crossing over the Frays River and River Colne in aqueducts on its westward route towards the Slough basin. On the eastern side of Yiewsley lies Stockley Country Park. Within its 274 acres of parkland lies a comprehensive network of footpaths. [[File:Cowley Peachey Junction Packet Boat Marina 1.jpg|thumb|The Packet Boat Marina at Cowley Peachey Junction]] To the west of Yiewsley, beyond the [[Colne, Hertfordshire|River Colne]] lie the [[Buckinghamshire]] villages of [[Iver]], [[Richings Park]] and Thorney. To the north, over the River Pinn is [[Cowley, London|Cowley Peachey]]. To the northeast of Yiewsley is [[Hillingdon]] and the villages of Colham Green and Goulds Green. To the east lies [[Stockley Park]] and to the south, across the [[Great Western Railway]] is [[West Drayton]].
