Whitewater Dyke, in relation to the Great Stour and other Rivers of Kent

Whitewater Dyke is a small river, also known as a stream, located in England. It is a "tributary," which means it's a smaller river that flows into a larger one. Whitewater Dyke eventually joins the Great Stour river, an important waterway in Kent.

Where Does Whitewater Dyke Flow?

This stream starts its journey near a village called Shadoxhurst. From there, it flows for about 5.6 kilometers (which is about 3.5 miles).

Its path takes it towards Willesborough. Here, it first meets up with another river called the East Stour.

Joining the Great Stour

After the Whitewater Dyke and East Stour join together, they both flow into the even larger Great Stour river. This meeting point is near a place called Pledge's Mill. This mill is located at the bottom of a hill known as East Hill in the town of Ashford, Kent.

So, Whitewater Dyke plays a small but important part in the network of rivers in this area of Kent!
