Welcome to Escley Brook

Escley Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Herefordshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Wye and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook rises in the hills near the village of Longtown and flows through the villages of Clodock and Newton before joining the River Wye near the town of Hay-on-Wye.

The Escley Brook is a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout and grayling being the most common species found in the river. The brook is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and dippers. The surrounding countryside is a mix of farmland and woodland, with the Black Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop to the east.

The brook has played an important role in the history of the area, with several mills being built along its banks in the past. Today, the Escley Brook is a peaceful and picturesque spot, popular with walkers and nature lovers. The river is also an important source of water for the local community, with several small reservoirs and water treatment plants located along its course.
