Welcome to West Meadow Brook

West Meadow Brook is a small stream that flows through the county of Leicestershire in England. It is a tributary of the River Soar and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook starts near the village of Shepshed and flows through the towns of Loughborough and Barrow upon Soar before joining the River Soar near Mountsorrel. The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles.

The West Meadow Brook is also an important source of water for the surrounding area. It is used for irrigation and provides drinking water for some of the local communities. However, the brook has been affected by pollution in the past, particularly from agricultural runoff and sewage. Efforts have been made to improve the water quality, including the installation of treatment plants and the implementation of farming practices that reduce pollution.

The West Meadow Brook is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with several footpaths and cycle routes running alongside it. The brook is also used for fishing, with a variety of fish species present, including brown trout, chub, and roach. Overall, the West Meadow Brook is an important natural resource for the people and wildlife of Leicestershire, and efforts are being made to protect and improve it for future generations.
