Welcome to Markeaton Brook

Markeaton Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Derbyshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Derwent and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook rises in the village of Hulland Ward and flows through the town of Ashbourne before joining the River Derwent near the city of Derby. The brook is a popular spot for fishing and is home to a variety of fish species, including brown trout, grayling, and chub.

The Markeaton Brook is also known for its scenic beauty and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. The brook flows through the Markeaton Park, which is a large public park located in the city of Derby. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons. The park also features a large lake, a children's play area, and a miniature railway.

Despite its natural beauty, the Markeaton Brook has faced several environmental challenges over the years. The brook has been affected by pollution from agricultural runoff and sewage discharge. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve the water quality of the brook, including the installation of new sewage treatment plants and the implementation of agricultural best practices. These efforts have helped to improve the health of the brook and ensure that it remains a valuable resource for the local community.
