About
The River Itchen is fed by three major tributaries in its upper reaches; the Candover Stream, River Alre and the Cheriton Stream. The river flows through many Hampshire villages before entering the city of Winchester, from where it heads south, through a series of water meadows, before reaching the northern suburbs of Southampton at Mansbridge. Here it is joined by the Monks Brook just above its tidal limit before flowing into Southampton Water at Woodmill. The section between Winchester and Southampton also includes the Itchen Navigation - a disused 18th century canal system linking Winchester to the sea.
