MenuMorton's Leam, Cambridgeshire
Morton's Leam is an ancient Fenland drain on the Nene Washes, Cambridgeshire. One of the earliest Fenland drains, Morton’s Leam, dug in the late 15th century (before the nearby River Nene was straightened in the early 1700s) flows in almost a straight line parallel to the current course of the River Nene through the washes. It is within the council area of Fenland (Cambridgeshire).
