Welcome to Rea Brook

Rea Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Shropshire in England. It is approximately 12 miles long and runs from its source near the village of Pontesbury to its confluence with the River Severn in the town of Shrewsbury. The river is a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout and grayling being the most common species caught. The surrounding area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons.

The Rea Brook is an important part of the local ecosystem, providing a habitat for a range of plant and animal species. The river is surrounded by woodland and meadows, which are home to a variety of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and cowslips. The area is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, such as the white-clawed crayfish and the water vole.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Rea Brook has played an important role in the history of the area. The river was once used to power a number of mills, including a paper mill and a corn mill. Today, the river is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with a number of footpaths and cycle routes running alongside it. Whether you are interested in history, wildlife, or simply enjoying the great outdoors, the Rea Brook is a must-visit destination in Shropshire.
