Ledburn:  Feeder stream for the Grand Union Canal A light dusting of snow follows the plough lines around the scrub-lined route of this feeder stream for the canal. Before the canal was built this was probably a tributary of the River Ouzel. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/171952">SP9123 : Water junction</a> for the confluence of the two. Viewed looking eastwards from the Well Lane bridge, the white house on the horizon to the right is in Ledburn village.
