River Teise The River Teise is a tributary of the River Medway in Kent. It begins in Dunorlan Park, Tunbridge Wells, and flows eastwards past Bayham Abbey and then through Lamberhurst. 3km downstream of Lamberhurst the small River Bewl, on which is the reservoir Bewl Water, joins the Teise.

Unusually the Teise bifurcates 2km southwest of the village of Marden, passing either side of a low ridge. The Lesser Teise flows for about 6.5km before joining the River Beult at Hunton. The Greater Teise, now carrying only minor quantities, flows for about 8km to the River Medway at Twyford Bridge, upstream of Yalding, formerly the site of a double ford over both the Medway and Teise rivers.
