The Nail Bourne flows from Lyminge, through the Elham Valley until it becomes known as the Little Stour at Littlebourne. Whilst the stream often holds a plentiful supply of water from Lyminge to Elham throughout the year, it rarely holds any water from Elham to Bishopsbourne even in the winter months, as can be seen here. This is the view from Valley Road with The Causeway to the right. The Little Stour then joins with the Great Stour at Plucks Gutter near West Stourmouth. A map of the Nail Bourne and more information about it can be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Stour
