River Teme, River and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Powys, United Kingdom.
The River Teme flows southeast for 81 miles from Cilfaesty Hill through steep valleys before meeting the River Severn near Worcester.
The first written record of the River Teme dates back to a charter from 770, where it appeared under the names Tamede and Temede.
Local tales connect the river to King Arthur, who reportedly threw a giant's head into the water, commanding it to turn to stone with the words 'tyfed yr iad'.
The river experiences rapid changes in water levels due to rainfall, requiring visitors to check conditions before planning activities near its banks.
Sections of the riverbed completely dry up during summer months, a phenomenon documented since 1870 that now occurs earlier in the year.
