IVEL (THE), a river partly of Herts, but chiefly of Beds. It rises in two head streams, the one originating near Baldock in Herts, the other a little N of Dunstable in Beds; it makes a junction of these head streams at Langford, 2¾ miles S of Biggleswade; and it runs thence northward, past Biggleswade, to the Ouse at Tempsford. Its length of course is about 30 miles. It is naturally navigable up to Biggleswade; and it connects with artificial navigation thence upward to Shefford.
