River Petteril

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Petteril is a river running through the English county of Cumbria.

The source of the Petteril is near Penruddock and Motherby, from where the young river runs northeast through Greystoke, Blencow and Newton Reigny, before passing under the M6 motorway, after which the river turns north, roughly following the course of the M6 towards Carlisle.

Having reached Carlisle, the Petteril joins the River Eden on its journey to the Solway Firth.
