WAVENEY (The), a river of Norfolk and Suffolk; rising near Brettingham and near the source of the Little Ouse; and running about 50 miles east-north-eastward, along the boundary between the two counties, past Diss, Harleston, Bungay, and Beccles, to a confluence with the Yare, at the head of Breydon-water, 4½ miles WSW of Yarmouth. It is navigable for barges up to Bungay.
