Stydd Brook is a watercourse in Lancashire, England.

Rising on Gannow Fell, south west of the Forest of Bowland, the river flows southward, meeting the River Ribble at Ribchester.

Stydd Brook flows by Black Plantation then between Moor Nook Farm and Davies Gate, before moving through Stydd Wood.

Tributaries

Boyce's Brook rises at the confluence of Cowley Brook (flowing southwards from Longridge Fell) and Page Brook (draining the Spade Mill Reservoirs near Longridge and flowing east) close to the hamlet of Buckley Gate. From there, the brook moves southeast through Buckley Wood, before skirting north around Ribchester to meet Stydd Brook under Stone Bridge.

A little further upstream from this confluence, Duddel Brook joins Stydd Brook. Duddel Brook flows south from its source near Lennox Farm, on the eastern slopes of Gannow Fell, flowing through Hougher Fall Wood, Over Hey Wood, then Duddel Wood and Little Stydd Wood.

Walloomsac River

The Walloomsac River from the Native American name, Wal-loom-sac is a 16.8-mile-long (27.0 km) tributary of the Hoosic River in the northeastern United States. It rises in southwestern Vermont, in the Green Mountains east of the town of Bennington in Woodford Hollow at the confluence of Bolles Brook and City Stream where it is labeled Walloomsac Brook on maps but is locally known as "The Roaring Branch". The river then flows west toward Bennington and passes the downtown area to the north. For many years this section was intermittent due to the water having been diverted to power mills in town. This divergence gave the name Walloomsac to a portion of the river flowing through town on the present course of South Stream. The combined Walloomsac / South Stream joins the Roaring Branch northwest of town. From here the river flows westward as the Walloomsac River and joins the Hoosic River below Hoosick Falls, New York.

Longridge Fell

Longridge Fell is the most southerly fell in England, near the town of Longridge, Lancashire. It lies at the southern end of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As its name suggests, it takes the form of a long ridge which rises in a north-easterly direction from within the town of Longridge to its summit 4.5 miles distant. As the ridge curves towards the east, it comes to a sudden end and drops into the Hodder Valley. The fell is a good example of a cuesta; the ridge has a sharp drop or escarpment on its northern side, and a gentler, more varying slope on its southern side. These features make it a popular takeoff for hang-gliders and paragliders on the relatively infrequent occurrences of a northerly wind.
