km

The Breamish is a river in Northumberland, England, which rises on Comb Fell in the Northumberland National Park on the southern side of The Cheviot. It is one of the nine rivers rising in the Cheviot Hills, the others being the College Burn, the Harthope Burn, the Bowmont Water, the Kale Water, the Heatherhope Burn, the Coquet, the Alwin and the River Rede. There are two notable villages in the upper Breamish valley: Ingram and Linhope, both of which are in the Northumberland National Park. The Breamish becomes the River Till in the locality of Bewick Bridge, 8.5 km to the southeast of Wooler; this is the only tributary of the River Tweed that flows exclusively in England.

Flows through: United Kingdom.
