The River Rother flows for 35 miles (56 km) through the English counties of East Sussex and Kent. Its source is near Rotherfield in East Sussex, and its mouth is on Rye Bay, part of the English Channel. Prior to 1287, its mouth was further to the east at New Romney, but it changed its course after a great storm blocked its exit to the sea. It was known as the Limen until the sixteenth century. For the final 14 miles (23 km), the river bed is below the high tide level, and Scots Float sluice is used to control levels. It prevents salt water entering the river system at high tides, and retains water in the river during the summer months to ensure the health of the surrounding marsh habitat. Below the sluice, the river is tidal for 3.7 miles (6.0 km).
The river has been used for navigation since Roman times, and is still navigable by small boats as far as Bodiam Castle. It flowed in a loop around the northern edge of the Isle of Oxney until 1635, when it was diverted along the southern edge. Scots Float Sluice was built before 1723, when the engineer John Reynolds made repairs to it, and later extended it, to try to keep the channel clear of silting, but it was criticised by John Rennie in 1804, as it was inconvenient to shipping. The river became part of a defensive line to protect England from the threat of invasion by the French in the early 1800s, when its lower section and part of the River Brede formed a link between the two halves of the Royal Military Canal. Scots Float Sluice was again rebuilt in 1844. Some 31 square miles (80 km2) of the valley were inundated by floodwater in 1960, which resulted in the Rother Area Drainage Improvement Scheme being implemented between 1966 and 1980. The river banks were raised, and 20 pumping stations were installed.
The river has been managed by a number of bodies, including the Rother Levels Commissioners of Sewers, the Rye Harbour Commissioners, and the Board of Conservators for the River Rother. After the passing of the Land Drainage Act 1930, it was managed by the Rother and Jury's Gut Catchment Board, the Kent River Board, the Kent and Sussex River Authorities, the National Rivers Authority and finally the Environment Agency. It is unusual, in that while it is under the jurisdiction of the Environment Agency, it has been a free river since 1826, and so no licence is required to use it. Management of the levels adjacent to the river is undertaken by the Romney Marshes Area Internal Drainage Board. The Rother passes by or near the villages of Etchingham, Robertsbridge, Bodiam, Northiam, and Wittersham.

Alison Hammill on Under Milkwood, River Thames, Oxford, England
I have just spent a wonderful weekend on my brother Austin's river boat Under Milkwood on the River Thames in Oxford, England. Apart from being a great skipper, he also writes amazing poetry and some of these can be read online at assonpublishing.com/AustinOrchardPoetryThoughts.html. I was also lucky to catch up with Kati, Cara, Emily, Addie, David and Derek and thank you all for taking the time to make it a real family get-together. I had a fantastic time and it is such a peaceful and beautiful place to be. Thank you so much Austin for the trip up (or is it down??) river and for spoiling me with bacon and egg breakfasts - perfect. Then the long but pleasant drive home to Exmouth, in Molly the Mini (see assonpublishing.com for the Classic Mini childrens books). Well you can't blame me surely for promoting the books!!! Lots of Love to all - Alison

MV BALMORAL: Up The River Rother: (Rye, Sussex).
One of three videos showing a trip along the East Sussex coast by the excursion ship Balmoral in the summer of 1995.
The MV Balmoral is a former Isle of Wight ferry, built in Southampton in 1949, which has been used as an excursion ship for several years past. Owned and operated by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (even though she is not a paddle steamer) as a fleetmate for the PS Waverley, in most summer seasons for the last 20 years and more, she has operated coastal cruises from various ports in the UK.

River Rother - Midhurst - West Sussex - England - Travelling - Ferðalag
The River Rother near to Cowdray Ruins - River Rother Midhurst - The River Rother flows from Empshott in Hampshire, England, to Stopham in West Sussex, where it joins the River Arun. At 52 kilometres (32 mi) long, most of the river lies within West Sussex except for the first 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) which lie in Hampshire. The upper river, from its source to Midhurst, has been used to power watermills, with the earliest recorded use being in 1086, when the Domesday survey was conducted. Although none are still operational, many of the buildings which housed the mills still exist, and in some cases, still retain their milling machinery. This upper section is also noted for a number of early bridges, which have survived since their construction in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Cowdray has excellent fly fishing opportunities on the River Rother near Midhurst, West Sussex. The river is stocked regularly with Brown Trout and there is a healthy population of wild fish. See more:
SUSSEX Wildlife Trust is appealing for help with its otter spotting project after completing a survey looking for otters on the Western River Rother, between Stopham, Midhurst, Rogate and Sheet in Hampshire. Between May and September Peter King, a volunteer for the Sussex Wetland Landscapes Project, walked 37 kilometres of the meandering river looking for otter signs including spraint (droppings) and footprints. Otters became extinct in Sussex – and across most of the United Kingdom in the 1950s due to water pollution and widespread destruction of their natural habitat. In the last 20 years extensive conservation efforts to improve the health of rivers and wetlands have resulted in a handful of otters returning to the county. See more:
The lower river, from Midhurst to its junction with the River Arun, has been used for navigation. Boats used the section from the Arun to Fittleworth following improvements made to the Arun in 1615, and after the Arun Navigation was completed in 1790, the Earl of Egremont made the river navigable up to Midhurst by constructing eight locks and some small cuts. The work was completed in 1794, and many of the bridges built at that time still survive. With the opening of the Mid-Sussex Railway branch to Midhurst in 1859, traffic declined, and commercial use of the river had ceased by the 1880s. Pleasure boats continued to be used on the river for many years, and published accounts of journeys along the decaying navigation appeared in 1914 and 1920. The navigation was officially abandoned in 1936, after an undergraduate pointed out that it was still a public right of way. The River Rother rises from several springs near Empshott in Hampshire. The main one supplies watercress beds, before passing under Mill Lane, to the south of the village. It continues eastwards, to reach Greatham Mill.[26] The mill, together with the mill house and an attached barn, date from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries, and are built of brick. Now Grade II listed. All of the original machinery of the mill is still in situ, but is not operational, as the water supply has been diverted.[28] The stream turns to the south-east, and passes under the A3 West Liss bypass, and Greatham Bridge, on the old route. It is joined by other streams, and turns south to reach Liss railway station. The railway and the river follow the same general route, and the river crosses under the railway five times before reaching Sheet. At the northern edge of the village, the river is joined by the Ashford Stream, and there is another mill. After passing under the A272 road, to the east of the village, it reaches Sheet Mill.

The river is known to have been used for shipping in Roman times, when it was navigable to Bodiam and possibly further upstream. There are records of small boats reaching Etchingham during Saxon and Norman periods. Stone for building Bodiam Castle was transported along the river in the fourteenth century, and iron was shipped from Newenden or Udiam in the sixteenth century. A century later, an iron store was erected at Udiam. Maytham Wharf served Rolvenden, while Tenterden was served by Small Hythe. See more:
