The Upper Teise Valley
The River Teise is a tributary of the River Medway in Kent, England. It begins in Dunorlan Park in Tunbridge Wells, and flows eastwards past Bayham Abbey and then through Lamberhurst. 3 km downstream of Lamberhurst the small River Bewl, on which is the reservoir Bewl Water, joins the Teise.
Unusually the Teise bifurcates 2 km south west of the village of Marden, passing either side of a low ridge. The Lesser Teise flows for about 6.5 km before joining the River Beult at Hunton. The Greater Teise, now carrying only minor quantities, flows for about 8 km to the River Medway at Twyford Bridge, upstream of Yalding, formerly the site of a double ford over both the Medway and Teise rivers.
