The River Wensum is a chalk river[1] in Norfolk, England and a tributary of the River Yare,[2] despite being the larger of the two rivers. The river is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest[3][4] and Special Area of Conservation.[5][6]
The Wensum is the principal river on which the city of Norwich was founded.[7] The river passes Carrow Road, the home of Norwich City F.C.; one end of the ground was originally named The River End in its honour, a name that still persists among fans.[8]
