Welcome to Fairham Brook

Fairham Brook is a small stream that flows through the county of Leicestershire in England. It is a tributary of the River Soar and runs for approximately 6.5 miles. The brook starts near the village of Wymeswold and flows through the villages of Hoton, Burton on the Wolds, and Cotes before joining the River Soar near Loughborough. The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles.

The Fairham Brook is also an important source of water for the surrounding area. It is used for irrigation and provides water for livestock and wildlife. The brook is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from all over the region to try their luck at catching trout and other fish. The brook is managed by the Environment Agency, who work to maintain its health and ensure that it remains a valuable resource for the local community.

Despite its small size, the Fairham Brook is an important part of the local ecosystem and plays a vital role in the lives of those who live in the surrounding area. Its clear waters and diverse wildlife make it a popular spot for nature lovers and anglers alike, and its importance as a source of water cannot be overstated. As such, it is important that we continue to protect and preserve this valuable resource for future generations to enjoy.
