The River Cole is a short River in the English Midlands . It Rises between Wythall , Weatheroak , Inkford , and Portway , South of Birmingham . After flowing through Birmingham, it passes Coleshill , to which it gave its name. It joins the River Blythe , of which it is a Tributary , near Ladywalk , shortly before the Blythe meets the Tame . It is 27 miles long. The Cole drives Sarehole Mill , now a museum, which was one of the inspirations for J.R.R. Tolkien 's '' The Lord Of The Rings ''. 11km of the river is protected by Project Kingfisher . The river has the potential to flood during heavy rain and as a result, Babbs Mill Lake was created to balance the effect. SEE ALSO |
