The Leven is a curious little river. Its course begins on Warren Moor with its source marked in grid square NZ6107 and an initial flow to the north east as if heading for Eskdale. It's likely that this was once the case, but a moraine blocks the way into the upper Esk, so the little river turns west towards Battersby, then north to Great Ayton. Still unable to decide which way to go, it then heads west across the Cleveland Plain past Stokesley and Hutton Rudby before eventually carving a deep valley through glacial material to join the Tees just downstream from Yarm.
