Bowmont Water rises in a series of streams off the slopes of Cock Law in the Cheviot Hills; the Kingsseat Burn, the Kelsocleugh Burn and the Back Burn principally, all rising of the Roxburghshire side of the watershed formed by the long ridge of Windy Gyle and king's Seat which carries the Pennine Way and marks the boundary of Northumberland to the south. The streams unite at Cocklawfoot to become the Bowmont Water.
The Bowmont flows northwest then northwards through Roxburghshire, passing famrs and hamlets but no substantial village until it passes between Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm. Here it turns northeast and by Yetholm Mains and Shotton it enters Northumberland.
In Northumberland the Bowmont Water continues past Mindrum Mill and Mindrum Station where it turns eastward, to Thornington, and finally to Lanton Mill where it joins College Burn to form the River Glen.
