The Valley of the Kyre Brook

Quite a wide steep sided valley bottom for such a small brook. The Kyre Brook flows north (right to left) on its way to Tenbury where it joins the river Teme.

Kyre/Sutton Parish Boundary

The small stream running along the fenceline is not named on the OS maps, but determines the boundary between the two parishes. After a few hundred metres (behind the camera) it joins the Kyre Brook which in turn joins the River Teme at Tenbury.

Sutton Mill

Looking like just a farm, but with two large ponds behind the trees draining the land of Sutton Park this is an ideal mill site. there is a considerable drop down to the Kyre Brook (just to the right of the picture).
