Rivers Of Kent

There are four rivers draining the county of Kent.

1. River Medway

This is the main river, whose catchment area covers almost 25% of the county. The detailed map has a diagram of that catchment area, which includes its main tributaries: the rivers Eden, Shode, Teise, Beult, Loose and Len.

Tributaries of the River Medway

  • The River Eden
  • The River Shode begins its course near Borough Green and enters the Medway east of Tonbridge.
  • The River Teise (pronounced tice) begins in East Sussex near Crowborough and flows eastwards through Lamberhurst, passing Bayham Abbey. Here the small River Bewl , on which is the reservoir Bewl Water, joins the Teise. Finally the River Beult joins the Teise.
  • The River Beult (pronounced belt) has its several sources west of Ashford, and then flows through Headcorn and onwards to join the Teise. The combined rivers enter the Medway at Yalding, about two miles to the north.
  • The River Loose is a relatively short river starting near the village that bears its name.
  • The River Len has its source at a small watershed south of Lenham. A nearby stream is one of the sources of the Great Stour. The Len flows in a westerly direction and joins the Medway at Maidstone.

2. River Stour

Its catchment area covers the eastern part of Kent

3. River Darent

Its tributary is the River Cray.

4. River Rother

A Wealden river. It is included here since for part of its journey near Bodiam it forms the boundary between Kent and East Sussex.
