Liddel Water's source is beneath Peel Fell in Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders, where it is formed by the confluence of Caddroun Burn, Wormscleuch Burn and Peel Burn (burn is the Scots term for a stream). Soon afterwards, the nascent Liddel Water is fed by Dawston Burn near the village of Saughtree.

The river continues to pick up tributaries (listed below) as it follows its southwesterly course, which takes it through the village of Newcastleton (also known as Copshaw Holm) to that of Kershopefoot, where the burn begins to mark the Anglo-Scottish border.

Liddel Water then flows into the River Esk at Willow Pool, overlooked by the earthworks of the former castle of Liddel Strength near Carwinley, Cumbria.

[de] Liddel Water

Das Liddel Water ist ein Wasserlauf im Vereinigten Königreich. Es entsteht aus dem Zusammenfluss einer Reihe von kleineren Wasserläufen darunter der Dead Sike, Rashy Sike, Hartwell Burn, Peel Burn, Holy Grain und Caddroun Burn östlich des Saughtree Fell in Scottish Borders, Schottland. Es fließt in südwestlicher Richtung und vereinigt sich westlich von Kershopefoot mit dem Kershope Burn. Nun bildet das Liddel Water die Grenze zwischen Scottish Borders und Cumbria, England. Von der Mündung des Muir Burn in das Liddel Water bildet dieses die Grenze von Cumbria und Dumfries and Galloway, Schottland. Das Liddle Water mündet südlich von Canonbie in den River Esk.
