LYNHER (THE), a river of Cornwall. It rises in the Alternon hills, near Brown Willy mountain; runs about 17 miles south-eastward, past Callington, to Landrake; begins there to be estuarial, with the appearance of a lake; proceeds about 4 miles southward, sending off branches toward St. Germans; and then goes about 5 miles eastward, with increasing expansion, to the Hamoaze below Saltash.
