About the River Teme
The River Teme rises in the hills near Kerry in Powys, south of Newtown, and runs about 80 miles to the Severn at Powick, just south of Worcester. For several miles it roughly forms the border between Wales and England, past Knighton, before it enters England near Bucknell. It then turns east to Ludlow, runs on past Tenbury Wells and finishes through Worcestershire. The Clun joins it at Leintwardine and the Onny at Bromfield.
The upper river is steep, fast and fairly shallow. Below Tenbury Wells it is calmer, but still shallow, with strong cross currents. It flows over Upper Ludlow shales and Devonian sandstones, and the levels change a lot. It answers rain quickly, and it has flooded more than once. The whole river is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and it is a clean river where otters are recovering.
The Teme and its feeder streams are well known for wild brown trout and grayling, and the faster water suits upstream dry fly and nymph. Salmon are caught on the middle and lower river, though obstructions keep their numbers low. Barbel and chub are the main coarse quarry lower down.
