Fleet Fen on Delph Bank This drain must be pretty old as it does tend to meander through the farmland rather than take the usual straight course. It forms the boundary between Fleet Fen on the left with Gedney Fen on the right and forms part of the system that drains into South Holland Main Drain. This in turn flows into the River Nene. This view is looking upstream.
