River Bray near Meethe

The River Bray is a small river in North Devon, England. It is a tributary of the River Mole, which in turn is a tributary of the River Taw.[1] It rises in Exmoor, near the border with Somerset.

Geology

[edit]

Generally, the river is quite shallow,[2] but it can be prone to flooding. In the Lynmouth Flood, the Bray was affected by the unseasonably high rainfall, and burst its banks, killing a group of schoolboy campers at Filleigh.

Villages

[edit]

The River Bray has given its names to several villages, such as Brayford.[2]
