Welcome to Norcott Brook

Norcott Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Cheshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Weaver and is approximately 10 miles long. The brook rises in the village of Norcott and flows through the towns of Northwich and Winsford before joining the River Weaver near the village of Acton Bridge.

The brook is home to a variety of wildlife, including brown trout, grayling, and kingfishers. The surrounding area is also rich in flora and fauna, with many species of wildflowers and trees lining the banks of the brook. The brook is a popular spot for fishing and walking, with many footpaths and trails running alongside it.

Despite its small size, Norcott Brook has played an important role in the history of the area. It was once used to power several watermills, which were used for grinding corn and other grains. The brook also played a role in the salt industry, which was once a major industry in Cheshire. Today, the brook is a peaceful and picturesque spot, offering visitors a glimpse into the natural beauty of the area.
