Channel River information


The Channel River was a prehistoric river flowing between England and France during periods of low sea level during the ice ages. Its tributaries included the river Rhine in modern-day Netherlands, the River Thames in modern-day England and other rivers. Over the last 12,000 years rising seas have covered its course, through what is now the English Channel.
