Pevensey Haven
Pevensey Haven is a river four miles long on the Pevensey Levels in south-eastern Sussex. It is a tributary to Salt Haven, in the parish of Westham.
Course
Pevensey Haven starts at the confluence of two smaller streams in the neighbourhood of Rickney and Hurst Haven to the north-east, and the Glynleigh Sewer to the west. Pevensey Haven takes a southerly course before turning east; after it receives the waters of Chilley Stream (east), it turns to the south-east, into the Parish of Pevensey. The Haven then turns south and flows underneath the Pevensey Bypass section of the A27 road through a culvert, where it receives the waters of Old Haven. When Pevensey Haven reaches Westham, it curves east to become known as Salt Haven.
