On the river at Kates Bridge

Low, clear water makes fish wary, and anglers often do better early and late in the day. For canoeists, shallow riffles mean scraped hulls and the odd portage.

Flood warnings for the area come from the Environment Agency.

About the River Glen

River Glen, Northumberland

The River Glen is a seven mile long tributary of the River Till flowing through northern Northumberland, England, United Kingdom. The College Burn and Bowmont Water, both flowing out of the Cheviot Hills, meet near Kirknewton to form the River Glen. The Glen flows past the small settlements of Yeavering, Lanton, Coupland, Akeld, and Ewart, and through the valley of Glendale, before joining the Till.
