Location description

This part of Kyd Brook runs within Crofton Wood near the wooden bridge that crosses Kyd Brook, which is near Eynesford recreation ground. It generally isn't a deep running brook unless it's been raining or has rained then it can be a few feet high or even overflow in places and run quickly. Crofton Woods has a clay soil wood and run off from the woods enters the brook in various places. There is a surface water overflow (S.W.O) running into it at this location. Further upstream there are 2 more S.W.Os and and a combined sewer overflow (C.S.O) which discharges untreated sewage into Kyd Brook at certain times, especially during heavy rain.
