River Smite, River tributary in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, England
The River Smite flows for 20 miles through agricultural landscapes, draining 193 square kilometers of farmland in the Vale of Belvoir region.
During the 17th century, the waterway was called Snite, derived from Old English 'smita', indicating a connection to muddy or marshy terrain.
Local communities regularly monitor water levels and participate in environmental protection efforts to maintain the natural state of the waterway.
Multiple access points along the river path allow visitors to observe local wildlife while following designated walking routes through Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
The river source emerges from Holwell Mouth, a mineral spring that residents believed held medicinal properties during the 1600s and 1700s.
