===Granta=== {{main|River Granta}} The longer tributary, the Granta, starts in the parish of [[Debden, Uttlesford|Debden]] to the east of the village of Widdington in [[Essex]]. After initially running south west to descend from the hills of [[Uttlesford]], it turns north just west of the village of [[Henham]]. From there until [[Great Shelford]] it largely follows the course of the [[West Anglia Main Line]] railway. Its northward journey passes first through [[Newport, Essex|Newport]], where it is joined by the streams known as Wicken Water and Debden Water. A couple of miles later it forms a picturesque addition to views of the stately home as it flows past the front of [[Audley End House]], and is also joined by the stream known as Fulfen Slade. It then skirts the edges of a number of villages as it moves into Cambridgeshire, successively [[Littlebury]], [[Little Chesterford]], [[Great Chesterford]], [[Ickleton]], [[Hinxton]], [[Duxford]] and [[Whittlesford]], powering a number of water mills along the way. Forming the boundary between [[Great Shelford]] and [[Little Shelford]], it turns west to flow past [[Hauxton]] to merge with the Rhee a mile south of Grantchester at Hauxton Junction.<ref name=os/> From source to its confluence with the Rhee it is {{convert|41.7|km|mi}} in length.
