River Rea, Shropshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Rea is a small river that flows through South Shropshire, England and passes just to the east of the town of Cleobury Mortimer, before entering the River Teme at Newnham Bridge in Worcestershire.

The name of the river derives from a root found in many Indo-European languages and means "to run" or "to flow".

An alternative name for the river is the Neen and there are various settlements along its course of that name or variations of it, such as Neen Sollars and Nene Savage.
