River Lune, Durham

The River Lune is a river in County Durham, England.

Upper River Lune near Selset Reservoir

The Lune rises close to Lune Head Farm at the confluence of Lune Head Beck (considered by some the upper part of the Lune)[1] and Cleve Beck. Lune Head Beck itself is formed by the meeting of Connypot Beck and Goal Sike, flowing eastward from Cumbria.

The river flows eastward through Lunedale to Selset Reservoir, after which it turns north east and feeds Grassholme Reservoir, before continuing to join the River Tees at Mickleton.

gollark: They promised transparency, user involvement, general good things I forgot (manifesto should still exist somewhere).
gollark: Due to something, palaiologos won the vote by rather a lot, despite having only been a member for a few months.
gollark: Due to LyricLy being somewhat unserious as owner, we wanted to remove them and get someone else in place. This worked; LyricLy agreed to resign due to things (no blackmail*!) and we held an election.
gollark: I don't know, really. There are theories.
