Caldwell Brook Wildlife Corridor
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Total species seen at this site:
This corridor follows the path of the small brook which flows southwest past past the sewage works of the Goadby Road before running along the boundary of the parish towards the boundary of the Thorpe Arnold cricket ground. At that point, it is known as Thorpe Brook and runs through Melton Mowbray before joining the River Eye. Farther upstream, the name of they brook is not designated on OS maps; a previous wildlife study gives the name of Caldwell Brook (does anyone have more information?).
The majority of this wildlife space is on private land and therefore not accessible accept with landowners' permissions. Public Rights of Way E92, F5 and E97 all cross the course of the brook so it accessible to the public at those points.
