The River Brant is a 14 mi-long (23 km) tributary of the River Witham that flows entirely within the county of Lincolnshire, in the east of England.
In 1855 the river was described as follows:[3]
"Brant, a tributary of the Witham in the western part of the county of Lincoln. This small stream has its rise in several fine springs in the parish of Hough-on-the-Hill, and pursues its humble course in a northern direction, westward of a range of high land."
