Cannington Brook
Cannington brook is a stream in Somerset, England that originates in the Quantock Hills,[1][2] which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[3]
Various streams, including Peart Water, flow into Hawkridge Reservoir near Spaxton, which was built between 1960 and 1962,[4] to provide drinking water for Bridgwater. The Peart Water continues in a northeast direction to the Ashford Reservoir which was constructed in 1934.[5] Below the Ashford Reservoir the Peart Water joins the Currypool Stream to form the Cannington brook.[1]
The brook discharges into the River Parrett,[1] south east of Combwich.
