RIVER MEDINA

:''For other places whose names are or contain "Medina", see Medina (disambiguation).''
The 'River Medina' is a small river that runs from the hills in the south of the Isle of Wight, through the capital Newport, towards the Solent at Cowes. The river is a navigable tidal estuary from Newport northwards.
The river is bridged at Newport. Cowes is connected to East Cowes by a chain ferry known as the Cowes Floating Bridge.
The name ''Medina'' came from the Anglo-Saxon ''Meðune'' = "the middle one", but the place in Arabia may have influenced its modern spelling.
