The River Cam at Queen Camel
To the best of my knowledge, there are three rivers called "River Cam" in Britain. As a graduate (and Fellow Commoner) of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, I am familiar with the best-known River Cam.
The second one is in Gloucestershire, flowing through Dursley and another Cambridge (this one a small village in Image) on its way to the River Severn.
Finally we have the Somerset River Cam, almost certainly the least known of the three. This flows through Sparkford and Queen Camel before joining the River Yeo (Ivel). It is seen here in Queen Camel, looking downstream.
