The New Bedford River also known as the Hundred Foot Drain because of the distance between the tops of the two embankments on either side of the river is a man-made cut-off or by-pass channel of the River Great Ouse in the Fens of Cambridgeshire England. It provides an almost straight channel between Earith and Denver Sluices. It is tidal with reverse tidal flow being clearly visible at Welney some 19 miles (31 km) from the sea.
