The River West Stour is actually named on Ordnance Survey maps as the River Great Stour in Kent. It it rises south of the village of Lenham near Maidstone and joins with the River East Stour at Ashford. The combined rivers then continue as the River Great Stour. The Great Stour then joins the River Little Stour to become the River Stour.
This part of the river flows through rural countryside, passing the villages of Charing Heath and Little Chart (where there is a watermill), before entering Ashford near Great Chart.
