Welcome to Clipstone Brook

Clipstone Brook is a small stream that flows through the county of Bedfordshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Flit and is approximately 6.5 miles long. The brook rises near the village of Barton-le-Clay and flows through the villages of Sharpenhoe, Streatley, and Barton-in-the-Clay before joining the River Flit near the town of Flitwick. The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, water voles, and kingfishers.

The Clipstone Brook catchment area covers approximately 20 square miles and is predominantly agricultural land. The brook is fed by a number of small tributaries and springs, which provide a constant flow of water throughout the year. The water quality of the brook is generally good, although there are some areas where agricultural runoff can cause pollution. The Environment Agency monitors the water quality of the brook and works with farmers to reduce the impact of agricultural activities on the watercourse.

The Clipstone Brook is a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers. The brook flows through a number of nature reserves and parks, including Sharpenhoe Clappers, Barton Hills, and Flitwick Moor. These areas provide important habitats for a variety of wildlife and offer visitors the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area. The brook is also a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout and grayling being the most common species caught.
