context_page_description: The River Tern is a river in Shropshire, England. It rises north-east of Market Drayton in the north of the county. The source of the Tern is considered to be the lake in the grounds of Maer Hall, Staffordshire. From here it flows for about 30 miles, being fed by the River Meese and the River Roden, until it joins the River Severn near Attingham Park, Atcham.
  Extensive peat bog formerly existed, extending from Crudgington on the Tern as far as Newport.
  At Longdon-on-Tern, the Tern is spanned by the Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct, the world's first large-scale cast iron navigable aqueduct, designed by Thomas Telford to carry the Shrewsbury Canal. The 62-yard long structure still stands today, but is marooned in the middle of a field.
