Welcome to Aylesford Brook

Aylesford Brook is a small stream that flows through the county of Shropshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Tern and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook rises near the village of Hinstock and flows through the towns of Market Drayton and Shawbury before joining the River Tern near the village of Longdon-on-Tern.

The Aylesford Brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and brown trout. The brook is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, such as the white-clawed crayfish and the water vole. The surrounding countryside is predominantly agricultural, with fields of crops and grazing land for livestock. The brook provides a vital source of water for these farms and is an important part of the local ecosystem.

The Aylesford Brook is also a popular destination for anglers, who come to fish for brown trout and grayling. The brook is known for its clear, clean water and its abundance of fish. There are several fishing clubs in the area that offer day tickets and memberships for anglers. The brook is also a popular spot for walkers and hikers, who enjoy the peaceful countryside and the scenic views along the brook.
