The River Hor is a short river in the county of Norfolk, England. It runs 13.3km (08.3miles) east from its source near Felthorpe to its confluence with the River Bure near Wroxham.[1]
The name of the river is probably a back-formation from the name of villages that it flows through. The village of Horsford has a name meaning "ford that horses can cross", so the river's name may be formed from that.[2]
