The River Lyvennet rises as Lyvennet Beck close to the monument Black Dub on Crosby Ravensworth fell. It winds more or less due North
for about 13 miles passing through the villages of Crosby Ravensworth, Maulds Meaburn, and King's Meaburn before it enters
the River Eden close to Temple Sowerby.
In the 6th century one Urien became the king of a land called Rheged, which probably is roughly the present Cumbria. The Kingdom was based at Llwyfenydd, which is how Lyvennet Beck may have got its name.
