A river that flows west through the western part of England, United Kingdom. In the Middle Ages, it was the border between the kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria, and until 1974, between the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. It originates in the Peak District in the southern Pennines, and is formed when the River Goyt and the River Etherow join near Stockport, south of Manchester. It flows through Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and downstream from Warrington, it forms a large estuary (triangular estuary) and flows into the Irish Sea.
