River Kent
CumbriaThe River Kent starts its life in Kentmere Reservoir in the valley of Kentmere.
It flows through several villages, one of those being Burneside, where it meets the River Sprint. A mile or so down stream it joins the River Mint at a place known as the Meetings at the Gravel Trap. From here these two small Rivers become the River Kent. The River Kent flows on, down through the old market town of Kendal only 20 miles from Morecambe Bay estuary. The River has many waterfalls and weirs, which migratory fish have to negotiate.
The Kent is one of the fastest flowing, spring run Rivers in the country. As the River flows through the countryside, there are some beautiful views, scenes of weirs and waterfalls. Wild life is abundant, a variety of birds including Kingfishers, squirrels, river habitat and otters are all to be seen. Some Anglers take time out to paint or sketch the scenery to take the memory home!
