Welcome to Stretford Brook

Stretford Brook is a small stream that flows through the county of Herefordshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Lugg and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook rises in the hills near the village of Stretford and flows through a number of small villages and hamlets before joining the River Lugg near the town of Leominster. The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and brown trout.

The surrounding area of Stretford Brook is predominantly rural, with rolling hills and farmland. The brook itself is a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout being the main catch. The brook is also a popular spot for walkers, with a number of footpaths and bridleways running alongside it. The area is rich in history, with a number of ancient sites and buildings, including the Iron Age hillfort of Croft Ambrey and the medieval church of St. Mary and St. David in the village of Marden.

Despite its small size, Stretford Brook is an important part of the local ecosystem and plays a vital role in supporting the local wildlife. The brook is also an important part of the local community, providing a source of recreation and a connection to the area's rich history and heritage. Whether you are a keen angler, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy a walk, Stretford Brook is well worth a visit.
