Course and tributaries
[edit]
Campton Brook is a continuation of New Inn Brook.[1][3][2]
New Inn Brook starts near Streatley flowing through north west of Sharpenhoe and traverses into the Campton Brook near Lower Gravenhurst.[1] New Inn Brook has a total length of 11.172 km (6.942 mi) and a catchment area of 21.811 km2 (8.421 sq mi).[1]
Campton Brook continues to flow near Upper Gravenhurst, then through Campton before joining the River Flit at its confluence in Shefford.[3][2] It has a total length of 6.04 km (3.75 mi) and a catchment area of 8.95 km2 (3.46 sq mi).[3]
The two water bodies: Campton Brook and New Inn Brook are two out of the twenty bodies in the Ivel Operational Catchment.[5]
A notable tributary of the Campton Brook is Barton Brook, it joins at its confluence near Lower Gravenhurst.[6]
Water quality
[edit]The Environment Agency measures the water quality of the river systems in England. Each is given an overall ecological status, which may be one of five levels: high, good, moderate, poor and bad.[7]
The water quality of the Campton Brook system is in the table below.
| Water body | Water Body Type | Catchment Area | Length | Ecological Status | Hydromorphological
