Geology


Generally, the River is quite shallow,[2] but it can be prone to flooding. In the Lynmouth Flood, the River Bray was affected by the unseasonably high rainfall, and burst its banks, killing a group of schoolboy campers at Filleigh.


Villages


Several villages, such as Brayford,[2] have had their name given from the River Bray.
