LEDDON (THE), a river of Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester. It rises within Worcester, near ActonBeauchamp; passes very soon into Hereford; goes 10 miles southward through that county, past Evesbatch, Bosbury, Ledbury, and Donnington; turns southeastward at Dymock; and runs 11 miles in that direction, chiefly within Gloucestershire, but partly on the boundary with Worcestershire, and past Pauntley, Hartpury, and Rudford, to the Severn near Gloucester. It is followed through much of its course, from above Ledbury, by the Hereford and Gloucester canal.
