Warsop
England

The source River Meden lies just north of Huthwaite, near the Derbyshire border, and from there it flows north east through Pleasley, Warsop and Budby before merging with the River Maun near Bothamsall to form the River Idle. The section of the river east of Pleasley is known as Pleasley Vale, and is known for its limestone scenery and early industrial revolution factory/mills, while part around Perlethorpe, in Thoresby Park, has been dammed to form a large ornamental lake called Thoresby Lake. There is a 9 km walking trial following the Meden River corridor highlighting the natural history of the area. The Carrs is another place of recreation for visitors with the River Meden running through it. It lies on the border of Church and Market Warsop. The Watermill there, rebuilt in 1767 and restored in 1924, is open to the public.
