Welcome to Back Brook

Back Brook is a small river that flows through the county of Staffordshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Trent and is approximately 15 miles long. The river rises in the hills near the village of Ipstones and flows through the towns of Leek and Cheadle before joining the River Trent near the village of Alrewas. Back Brook is a popular spot for fishing and is home to a variety of fish species including brown trout, grayling, and chub.

The river is also an important habitat for wildlife, with many species of birds, mammals, and insects living along its banks. The river is surrounded by woodland and meadows, providing a diverse range of habitats for wildlife. The river is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, including the white-clawed crayfish, which is the UK's only native crayfish species.

Despite its importance as a habitat for wildlife, Back Brook has faced a number of challenges in recent years. Pollution from agricultural runoff and sewage has had a negative impact on the river's water quality, and the destruction of habitats through development has also had an impact on the river's wildlife. Efforts are being made to protect and restore the river, including the creation of new habitats and the implementation of measures to reduce pollution.
