River Waver

River Waver near Abbey Town

The River Waver is a river in Cumberland flowing to the Solway Firth.

The river rises at Wavergillhead as the Townthwaite Beck. It is fed by the northwards flowing Thornthwaite Beck and Pow Gill either side of Bolton Wood Lane.

The Little Waver, rising at Catlands Hill, joins at Waterside near Woodrow.

The river then takes a northward course by way of Waverton and Waverbridge, before turning sharply westwards at Abbey Town. The river then goes north, running into Moricambe Bay, an inlet of the Solway Firth.
