Eye Brook

Eye Brook

The Eye Brook is a river in the East Midlands of England, a tributary of the River Welland.

Rising near Skeffington in Leicestershire, it flows east. Near where it crosses the A47, it starts to form the county boundary between Leicestershire and Rutland, and goes between Belton-in-Rutland to the north, and Allexton to the south. It then proceeds south-eastwards. Between Stoke Dry and Caldecott it is dammed to form the Eyebrook Reservoir. Soon after this, it joins the River Welland (here forming the border with Northamptonshire).

Much of the land surrounding the area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a report by "English Nature" considered the river to be one of the most "natural" in the county having experienced very little human intervention.

The river holds a variety of fish species, including roach, dace and chub. Wild brown trout spawn in the lower reaches.
