River Alre, Chalk stream in Bishop's Sutton and New Alresford, England.
The River Alre flows westward for four miles through Hampshire, featuring a shallow gravel bed and fast-moving water sustained by chalk springs.
Two medieval water mills, Arle Mill and The Fulling Mill from the 13th century, stand along the river banks, marking centuries of water-powered industry.
The river supports traditional watercress farming at Western Court Farm, connecting to the regional agricultural heritage of Hampshire's watercress production.
Walking paths follow the river course from Old Alresford Pond through New Alresford, offering multiple access points and designated duck feeding areas.
The river name derives from 'alor,' Old English for alder tree, and supplies water to a 12th-century artificial stew pond created for Winchester's Bishop.
