River Eea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Eea is a small river in Cumbria, England running through the Furness region, which was once part of Lancashire.
The river's source is a bog in the hills, meaning it flows all year round.
The river rises near High Cark in Newton Fell and is soon fed by Black Beck (emanating from Fair Rigg south of Staveley-in-Cartmel) and Ayside Pool (rising above Ayside).
From there, the Eea runs past Green Bank and through Cartmel and Cark before flowing via Sand Gate Marsh into the estuary of the River Leven at Lenibrick Point, close to Chapel Island. It is now used as a fieldwork study point for the centre 'Castle Head', where students test various properties of the river.
Its course is approximately 10 km long and the mouth is at Sand Gate marshes.
