This is a list of rivers of England, organised geographically and taken anti-clockwise around the English coast where the various rivers discharge into the surrounding seas, from the Solway Firth on the Scottish border to the Welsh Dee on the Welsh border, and again from the Wye on the Welsh border anti-clockwise to the Tweed on the Scottish border.

dbo:abstract
  • This is a list of rivers of England, organised geographically and taken anti-clockwise around the English coast where the various rivers discharge into the surrounding seas, from the Solway Firth on the Scottish border to the Welsh Dee on the Welsh border, and again from the Wye on the Welsh border anti-clockwise to the Tweed on the Scottish border. Tributaries are listed down the page in an upstream direction, i.e. the first tributary listed is closest to the sea, and tributaries of tributaries are treated similarly. Thus, in the first catchment below, the River Sark is the lowermost tributary of the Border Esk and the Hether Burn is the lowermost tributary of the River Lyne. The main stem (or principal) river of a catchment is labelled as (MS), left-bank tributaries are indicated by (L), right-bank tributaries by (R). Note that in general usage, the 'left (or right) bank of a river' refers to the left (or right) hand bank, as seen when looking downstream. Where a named river derives from the confluence of two differently named rivers these are labelled as (Ls) and (Rs) for the left and right forks (the rivers on the left and right, relative to an observer facing downstream). A prime example is the River Tyne (MS), the confluence of the South Tyne (Rs) and the North Tyne (Ls) near Hexham. Those few watercourses (mainly in the Thames catchment) which branch off a major channel and then rejoin it or another watercourse further downstream are known as distributaries or anabranches and are labelled (d). The list will encompass most of the main rivers of England (as defined by the Environment Agency) and which includes those named watercourses for which the Environment Agency has a flood defence function. Many rivers and streams which are not classed as 'main rivers' also appear. Some minor watercourses are included in the list, especially if they are named as 'river'- such examples may be labelled (m). For simplicity, they are divided here by the coastal sections within which each river system discharges to the sea. In the case of the rivers which straddle the borders with Scotland and Wales, such as the Border Esk, Tweed, Dee, Severn and Wye, only those tributaries which lie at least partly in England are included.

  • Cet article présente une liste des cours d'eau d'Angleterre, classés par position géographique dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Ils passent par l'Angleterre et se jettent dans les mers qui bordent le pays. Pour l'Esk, la Tweed, la Dee, la Severn et la Wye, qui forment les frontières avec l'Écosse et le pays de Galles, seuls les affluents du côté anglais sont indiqués. La liste répertorie les d'Angleterre telles que définies par l'. Les affluents sont classés de l'aval vers l'amont. Le fleuve, ou la principale rivière du bassin versant, est indiquée par la lettre (F), les affluents gauches par G et les droits par D. Par convention, le côté gauche où droit d'un fleuve est celui vu quand on regarde vers l'aval. Quand un cours d'eau est formé par deux autres, les deux branches sont indiquées comme Gc et Dc (par exemple le fleuve Tyne (F) formé par le South Tyne (Dc) et le North Tyne (Gc)). Les défluents et les anabranches sont indiqués par les lettres D et A. Quelques cours d'eau mineurs sont listés ici, ils sont signalés par la lettre M. (fr)
