It is roughly long. It originally had a wide estuary on the site of modern Dover, although today it flows into the Dover Harbour through a culvert.

The remains of a Bronze Age seagoing boat (from 3,500 years ago), known as the Dover Bronze Age Boat, were found in 1992, and it can be seen in Dover Museum.
