Minsterley Brook

Last updated

Minsterley Brook is a small stream in Shropshire, England.

The source of this stream is at the northeast part of Stapeley Hill (the site of the stone circle, Mitchell's Fold). [1] It is later on joined by other smaller streams flowing into it. It is a steep rocky brook, fast flowing with occasional small water falls. The brook passes down the steep wooded Hope Valley which houses a nature reserve before passing through Plox Green. The brook then descends less steeply down through the grounds of the 16th century Minsterley Hall past Minsterley's Parish Hall. [2] After this it joins the larger river called the Rea Brook.

Stream Body of surface water flowing down a channel

A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface water, subsurface water and groundwater. The surface and subsurface water are highly variable between periods of rainfall. Groundwater, on the other hand, has a relatively constant input and is controlled more by long-term patterns of precipitation. The stream encompasses surface, subsurface and groundwater fluxes that respond to geological, geomorphological, hydrological and biotic controls.
