The River Leen is Nottingham’s river

Many people who live and work in Nottingham can recognise the River Leen as it crosses large parts of the city through Bestwood and Bulwell, onto Basford and Bobbers Mill, before flowing through Lenton and into the River Trent near Victoria Embankment.

The River Leen is an important and historic river. We want to make sure it stays clean, safe, and fun for everyone to enjoy!

The Environment Agency are working on a strategy to manage flood risk from the river but we also want to work with everyone who lives, works, or plays near the river.to help nature and wildlife too. When we take care of the river, it also helps the plants, animals, and people who live nearby.

The River Leen needs you!

This page will keep you updated about our plans and let you know how you can join in and help take care of the River Leen—so it stays healthy for many years to come.

The River Leen isn't just Nottingham's river, its your river and we want to know what you know and think about the River Leen. What do you like about it? Is there anything you think could make it better? Can you see the Leen from where you work or live?
