Welcome to Back Brook

Back Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Shropshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Tern and is approximately 10 miles long. The river rises in the hills near the village of Hinstock and flows through the villages of Cheswardine and Sambrook before joining the River Tern near the town of Market Drayton.

The Back Brook is a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout and grayling being the most common species caught. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. The surrounding countryside is picturesque, with rolling hills and fields dotted with sheep and cows. There are several footpaths and bridleways that follow the course of the river, providing opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding.

The Back Brook is an important part of the local ecosystem, providing a habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. The river is also an important source of water for the surrounding farmland and communities. However, like many rivers in the UK, the Back Brook is under threat from pollution and habitat loss. Efforts are being made to protect and restore the river, including the creation of new wetland habitats and the implementation of measures to reduce pollution from agricultural runoff.
