Low Leven is a hamlet within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England, and is located at the bottom of Leven Bank towards the mouth of the River Leven.

Low Leven is dominated by the ruin of the Cross Keys public house and three former dwellings which were abandoned due to persistent flooding. Much of these buildings have collapsed.

[edit] Regeneration

In mid-February 2007 work was started on the reconstruction of the ruins of the Hamlet, and construction of nine 5/6 bedroom houses by Yorvik Homes. Work continued through the summer of 2007 with the demolition of Mill House. Leven House, The Cross Keys, and Mill Cottage have so far been retained. The new houses are numbered 1 to 9 Bridgewater.
