Welcome to Durleigh Brook

Durleigh Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Somerset in England. It is a tributary of the River Parrett and is approximately 6.5 miles long. The brook rises near the village of Durleigh and flows through the town of Bridgwater before joining the River Parrett near the village of Combwich. The brook is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles.

The Durleigh Brook is also an important source of water for the local community. The brook is used for irrigation and provides water for livestock and crops. The water quality of the brook is monitored regularly to ensure that it is safe for human consumption and for the wildlife that depends on it. The brook is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from all over the country to try their luck at catching trout and other fish.

Despite its importance, the Durleigh Brook has faced a number of challenges in recent years. Pollution from agricultural runoff and sewage has threatened the water quality of the brook, and efforts are being made to reduce these sources of pollution. In addition, the brook has been affected by flooding, which has caused damage to homes and businesses in the area. Efforts are being made to improve flood defenses and to restore the natural habitats along the brook to help prevent future flooding.
