River Breamish



Map showing the river and catchment area - downstream of the information point it is known as the River Breamish and upstream as the River Till.

The lower course of the river, downstream of Bewick Bridge (near Old Bewick), is known as the River Breamish; upstream it is known as the River Till. The river (Breamish and Till combined) is about 83km long. The Till discharges into the River Tweed by the England-Scotland Border. Linhope Burn is one of the major tributaries of the River Breamish.

The Breamish Valley is an important archaeological area with numerous prehistoric sites, including Iron Age hillforts, burial cairns, and ancient cultivation terraces.
