The River Kemp is a tributary of the River Clun which flows through Shropshire, England. ==Course== The river is formed from two small unnamed streams that converge to the east of Colebatch. The two streams drains the area around Bishops Castle, the stream on the western side of the town rises near Bishops Moat and flows south-easterly in a well defined valley. The stream to the east rises on Lydham Heath near Lea and flows in a south-westerly direction to the confluence near Colebatch.〔 From this point the river flows south, to reach the hamlet of Brockton, it then turns in a south-easterly direction to pass through the grounds on Walcot Hall, near Lydbury North. At this point the river feeds the large lake known as Walcot Pool, which was constructed by French prisoners of war from the Napoleonic War.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Gardens )〕 To the south of Walcot Park, it is crossed by the Shropshire Way and then passes through the village of Kempton, where there is a ford and footbridge. The river continues due south, until it reaches the Clun valley near Clunbury. It joins the larger river to the east of the village at Oaker near Aston on Clun.〔 The total length of the river including the two headwater arms is .
