The River Rib is a tributary of the River Lea, which runs from Buckland in Hertfordshire, England. It flows into the River Lea to the east of Hertford.
Course of the River Rib
The River Rib originates near the East Hertfordshire village of Buckland and runs parallel with the A10 through Chipping, Wyddial, Buntingford, Westmill, and Braughing, where it is joined by its major tributary, the River Quin.
From Braughing, it flows through Puckeridge and Standon, before dividing the villages of Thundridge and Wadesmill and continuing until it reaches its confluence with the River Lea near Hertford.[1]
