An English River
Flow of the River Wyre
The River Wyre flows for 28 miles and for nearly half this it is tidal. The land in this area is low lying and is protected from flooding by a series of built embankments. During the summer months a number of events, such as Knott End Gala, Great Eccelston Agricultural Show and Scorton Steam Fair form the backbone of the local social calendar. Given the topography of the area, an increase in sea levels by 50cm would have a disastrous effect on the population that live along the course of the river.
