About
The River Ise joins the Nene at Wellingborough, flowing in from the north. Its other major urban areas are Kettering , Desborough and Rothwell. The River Ise is at good ecological status, with its main tributary, Slade Brook at moderate status. It remains largely rural with mixed farming, but is subject to major development pressures. It has an important riverine Site of Special Scientific Interest upstream of Geddington that is in need of improvement. The river forms part of Wicksteed Park, an important amenity for the local area.
