River Dun (River Test)

The River Dun is a tributary of the River Test in southern England. It rises to the south-east of Salisbury near West Grimstead, Wiltshire and flows east into Hampshire before joining the Test at Dunbridge near Kimbridge.[1] The Dun crosses the county border as it passes between the villages of West Dean and East Dean.[2] The Test ultimately drains into Southampton Water.
