The River Smite

Starting at the southern edge of the Vale of Belvoir, on Clawson Hill on the Leicestershire Wolds escarpment, the Smite flows 20 miles north, across most of the Vale, before joining the Devon and then the Trent at Newark
"In the 17th century the river was known as the Snite. This and the modern spelling are thought to derive from the Old English smita, denoting a foul or miry place." LinkExternal link
