	Tees-Exe line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tees-Exe line is an imaginary line that can be draw on a map of the British mainland which roughly divides the lowland and upland regions of the country.
		The line links the mouth of the River Tees in Teesside, the north east of England with the mouth of the River Exe in Devon, the south west.
		The lowlands (sedimentary rocks) are predominant to the east of the line and higher land (igneous and metamorphic rocks) dominates to the west.

		The Tributaries of the Exe absorb the rainfall and pass the volume of water downstream creating a massive surge of rising water down the valley towards Exeter.
		The discharge of a river is measured in units known as cumecs (cubic metres per second).
		It is calculated by measuring the cross-section of the river channel and multiplying it by the speed of the flow of the water e.g.

		The River Exe rises on Exmoor in Devon, near the north (Bristol Channel) coast of the county, but flows more or less directly due south and reaches the sea at a substantial ria on the south (English Channel) coast.
		Tides on the river are now limited at Countess Wear (or Weir), which was constructed by the Countess of Devon.
		At high tide, the estuary forms a large body of water that is heavily used for water sports especially sailing, wind surfing and water skiing; at low tide, extensive mud flats are exposed, and these are an important feeding source for wading birds.

		The River Exe is more than 50 miles long and stretches almost all the way from the Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south.
		The source of the Exe is near Simonsbath on Exmoor - and it reaches the sea at Exmouth.
		Up here on the moor, the Exe passes through wet moorland, woodland and steep-sided valleys, in an environment which is a complete contrast to that found at the other end of the river.

		The Exe was deepened and widened and the banks artificially raised to produce man-made levees or flood banks.
		The river flows through a large urban built up area and this placed limits on the extent to which it could be widened in the city.
		The span of 46 metres was replaced with new bridges spanning 67 metres allowing the widening of the channel.

		The Culm and the Barle are both part of the River Exe system and by using native fish the Agency is helping to ensure the genetic integrity of the salmon.
		The River Exe and Tributaries Association are hoping to stock the Lowman this year with several thousand young salmon which also originate from the Barle catchment.
		The Lowman is a much improved river and the Agency is currently having a fish pass installed in one of the major obstructions in the river at Chieflowman.

	John Bass fined for cutting spires in river Exe
		He contended that the land was the property of the crown: that it was a portion of a navigable river; and that the right to cut the "spires" had not been called into question during the past twenty or thirty years.
		This weir was subsequently destroyed, but in 1315 or 1316 Countess and James' weirs were thrown across the river in consequence of a dispute with the Devon family and the Mayor of Exeter about fish.
		Mr Toby further contended that as the tide flowed and ebbed in the portion of the river in which the "spire" beds were, those beds formed part of a navigable river and consequently were public property.

		Weirs were traditionally built to raise the level of the water upstream of the weir so that water was deeper and maintained a higher level than if the river channel was natural.
		The purpose was mainly to allow some of this 'regular' water to be channelled off to the waterwheels which produced water power for the mills beside the Exe.
		They are also important for maintaining water levels in sections of the river where fishing is popular and in some areas for controlling the levels in association with lock gates.

		Trade with France in wine and cloth was carried on as early as 1284, but was probably much increased on the erection of the Cobb, first mentioned in 1328 as built of timber and rock.
		Its medieval importance as the only shelter between Portland Roads and the river Exe caused the burgesses to receive grants of quayage for its maintenance in 1335 and many subsequent years, while its convenience probably did much to bring upon Lyme the unsuccessful siege by Prince Maurice in 1644.
		In 1685 Lyme was the scene of the landing of James, duke of Monmouth, in his attempt upon the throne.

		Ideal for relaxing family days on the beach, it offers very safe bathing and is supervised by a team of experienced lifeguards, as it gently slopes down towards the sea.
		In fact, the whole of the Exe estuary has a wide range of residents with groups of Widgeon, Bar Tailed Godwit, ducks such as Teal and Mallard, Dark Bellied Brent Geese, Redshank, and Turnstones.
		With the reserve acting as an important high tide roosting site, the incoming tide encroaches on the birds feeding ground and forces them onto the sandy spit at the mouth of the estuary, then onto the shingle banks and sands of the warren.
