Midford Brook is a small river inSomerset,England.
It is formed by the convergence of theWellow Brook andCam Brook atMidford. It passesTucking Mill and joins theRiver Avon close to theDundas Aqueduct and the remains of theSomerset Coal Canal.[1] For its entire length it defines the boundary betweenBath & North East Somerset andWiltshire.[2]
Although the Midford Brook is named on Ordnance Survey maps,[3] theEnvironment Agency does not recognise it, instead identifying the Wellow Brook as continuing to the Avon.[4]
The Midford Brook has a catchment area of 147.4 km2 which is largely over impermeableLias. The deep steep-sided valley means that it responds rapidly to rainfall.[5]
