Which one? Canberra, Tasmania, Illinois, North Carolina or
Tennessee?

The fact that we have been discussing the Lake District clearly
escaped your notice. Pay attention, lad!

Pay attention yourself, sonny. There is no such thing as "Lake
Windermere" in the Lake District, though there are five of them
elsewhere, hence my query.

mere = lake

We have River River in the south (two of them).

Not just River Avon?

Or River Cam?

There are two River Avons, One in Hampshire/Wiltshire, one in Warwickshire


Or River Cam?

I've only ever heard it called 'The Cam' possibly local useage.

There's also one in Wiltshire/Somerset, hence the short lived county of
Avon, and another in Devon, in the Bigbury area.

According to the Ordnance Survey:
- the branch going through Audley End is the "River Cam or Granta";
- the branch going through Babraham is the "River Granta";
- the branch going through Barrington is the "River Cam or Rhee";
- the branch going beside the radio telescope is not named, but a sub-
branch is labelled "Tit Brook".

The Granta and Rhee meet at Byron's Pool. Beyond there be dragons.

Babraham - River Granta
Barrington - River Cam or Rhee
** Lords Bridge Station & Bourn - Bourn Brook
Back of Comberton, Tit Brook, joins Bourn Brook just West of the

* between Trumpington & Grantchester; just River Cam by Coe Fen.
