Location description
This stream flows at the bottom of a wooded slope. One side is very steep, at the top is a car park, childrens play park, recycling skips and a bin. The other side is a wooded slope but less steep which leads to one of the main paths through Roundhay park. There are three CSOs that feed into Fox Wood Beck. The testing site is to the right / upstream of a very large tree that has fallen across the stream. The site is brambly and boggy. If you walk upstream to you will see a very large pipe coming from under the road, which leads to the CSOs.
