Welcome to Long Whatton Brook

Long Whatton Brook is a small stream that flows through the village of Long Whatton in Leicestershire, England. The brook is approximately 6.5 km long and is a tributary of the River Soar. The brook is an important part of the local ecosystem and provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including fish, birds, and insects.

The brook is also an important part of the local history and has been used for various purposes over the years. In the past, it was used to power mills and provide water for agriculture. Today, it is used for recreational purposes, such as fishing and walking. The brook is also an important part of the local landscape and is a popular spot for photographers and artists.
