Caldecotte Brook
About Caldecotte Brook
This linear park follows the course of Caldecotte Brook from the city boundary at Wavendon Gate through Old Farm Park, Browns Wood to the Walnut Tree meeting place at Wadesmill Lane. At this point the brook flows into underground pipes on its way to be deposited into Caldecotte Lake.
At Boyce Crescent opposite the Old Farm Park local centre you will find a small play area and the frog pond with timber viewing platform, see if you can find the frog that the pond was named after. Look out for Kingfishers flying along the course of the brook.
