River Leam facts for kids

The River Leam (pronounced 'LEM') is a river in England. It starts at Hellidon Hill in Northamptonshire and then flows through the countryside of Warwickshire. It passes through the town of Leamington Spa. The River Leam then joins the River Avon, which is a larger river that eventually flows into the River Severn.

Sometimes, you might see the river spelled as River Leame. This is another way to write its name.

Where Does the Leam Start?

The River Leam begins its journey at a place called Hellidon Hill. This hill is located in a county called Northamptonshire. From there, the river flows west, making its way through the beautiful rural areas of Warwickshire.

What Rivers Flow into the Leam?

Rivers often have smaller streams or rivers that flow into them. These are called tributaries. The River Leam has several important tributaries that add water to it as it flows. These include:

• Rains Brook
• River Itchen
• River Stowe
• Radford Brook

These smaller rivers help make the River Leam bigger and stronger as it travels towards the River Avon.
