Well Creek is a waterway in Norfolk, England that is a tributary to the River Great Ouse.[1] Rising from the River Nene, the waterway in its current alignment dates to the 12th century;[2] it flows through the villages of Upwell, Outwell, Nordelph and ends at the hamlet of Salters Lode.[3] It is actively maintained by the Well Creek Trust, which was formed on 23 March 1970 on a decision of the Norfolk County Council after plans were made to disband the waterway.[2] Alongside being a popular waterway for mooring, it is also used for fishing[4][5] and an annual raft race, where entrants build their own home-made rafts out of miscellaneous items and materials.[6]
