The Nile is probably the major one of those.

The Medina on the Isle of Wight is a far less impressive example. It rises in the hills just north of Blackgang towards the south coast and flows northwards through Newport, emptying into the Solent at Cowes. It is only about 12 miles long.

There must be quite a lot surely ? Anything along the north coast of the West Country for example, the Parrett, the Torridge, the Camel

What is so special about a river's flowing south to north? A river flows from high ground to low, which can be in any direction. Surely funkymoped doesn't think that south to north means flowing uphill!

the ouse

[ugly_bob]

sorry the River Great Ouse

[JudgeJ]

A couple of days ago somebody asked if it was possible to swim uphill. I suppose this must be related to that!

Several major rivers of northern Canada, such as the Mackenzie, flow basically northwards, too, Funky.

The Great Ouse flows west to east, surely? OK maybe not the last few miles but for most of its length

I would have thought the Trent flowed northwards for most of its course, then there's all those rivers in Russia that flow into the Arctic Ocean, like the Ob and the Lena, and the Rhine ...

thanks peeps..
didnt realise there was a need to give a reason for asking a question, but i will.. :-)
nothing to do with swimming up hill.
the majority of rivers flow N-S.
only a very small percentage run S-N !!

I just wanted to know the ones that run S-N...

no other reason.. :-)

rivers that flow north

[atoach]

Hello again. That site seems very USAcentric. The Seine flows pretty much north, or north-west, too. Is it really true that the vast majority flow the other way ?
Sorry, I can't underline or italicise "vast majority "any more, but please consider it italicised.

[funkymoped]
