River Dearne

The River Dearne is a river in South Yorkshire, England. It flows roughly east for more than thirty kilometres, from its source just inside West Yorkshire, through Denby Dale, Clayton West, Darton, Barnsley, Darfield, Wath upon Dearne and Bolton on Dearne, to its confluence with the River Don at Conisbrough.

This was just one of many rivers that was involved in the 2007 United Kingdom floods.

The upper Dearne is followed by the "Dearne Way", a footpath through the countryside from "Dearne Head" to Barnsley. The lower Dearne Valley is confusingly now also called Dearne Valley and is a regeneration area.

Attractions along the Dearne include the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at Bretton Hall, and Monk Bretton Priory.

The main tributary of the River Dearne is the River Dove.
