River Mole
The
River Mole
is a
tributary
of the
River Thames
in
southern England
. It
rises
in
West Sussex
near
Horsham
and flows northwest through
Surrey
for to the
Thames
at
East Molesey
, opposite
Hampton Court Palace
. The river gives its name to the
Surrey
district of
Mole Valley
. The Mole crosses the
North Downs
between
Dorking
and
Leatherhead
, where it cuts a steep-sided valley, known as the Mole Gap, through the chalk. Much of the catchment area lies on
impermeable rock
(including
Wealden Clay
and
London Clay
), meaning that the river level responds rapidly to heavy rainfall.
