Hatherley Brook is a small stream that runs through the county of Gloucestershire in England. It is a tributary of the River Chelt and is approximately 6.5 kilometers long. The brook starts in the village of Uckington and flows through the suburbs of Cheltenham before joining the River Chelt near the village of Shurdington.
The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and brown trout. The surrounding area is also home to a number of rare plant species, such as the marsh marigold and the water forget-me-not. The brook is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers often catching brown trout and grayling.
Despite its importance as a wildlife habitat, the brook has faced a number of challenges in recent years. Pollution from agricultural runoff and urban development has had a negative impact on the water quality, and the brook has suffered from flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. However, efforts are being made to protect and restore the brook, including the creation of new wetland habitats and the installation of flood defenses.
