Original Fieldworld investigation on river Hyndburn Brook This is because there are many boulders which form ridged wetted perimeters. Debden Brook Rivers Coursework Data Collection Table This could mean that the river was now wider than it usually would have been, because of the extra intake of water it would have had.

Looking for expert help with your Geography work? Take me to free Study Guides. From looking at the paper Ordnance Survey map the source of the Loughton Brook appears unclear — it could either emerge in Wake Valley or perhaps percolates through pebbles, gravels, and bagshot beds in Great Monk Wood.
On the opposite side of the highly embanked road Lower Wake Pond is drained by a clay culvert from which springs a trickle of water. Will Ashon was a great person to chat about Epping Forest with in front of a packed room, and now I imagined him walking with us in the forest. Strange Labyrinth takes you on a ramble through Forest lore not unlike a good schlepp in Epping Forest.
It presents many facets of our beloved woodland — as a place of solace and reflection, a place of fear, and a landscape of magic. When studying river systems and their behaviour and land formation it is usually undertaken and viewed from a large scale which is hard to visually survey and record, Loughton Brook is unusual insofar as it behaves like a big river system in a very small scale location that is easy to survey and record.
A perfect miniature example. This behaviour prediction ability means that big civil engineering projects for example can be calculated accurately. If your planning on building a bridge over a river with curves in it as most rivers have then your going to need to know the extent of the potential flood plain to work out the span of the bridge or locations for development and so on. Small changes in a river system such as bank damage can significantly affect the downstream behavioural patterns from artificial damage such as cycling and making dams down to burrowing animals who can open up a small point that is exploited and eroded.
The natural influences are what is important in the development and study of the Brook rather than human interference which is why there are rules on riding and cycling.
The easily identifiable features all along the Brook are the river cliffs and bluffs but also if you look carefully along the banks you can see the dried out remnants of ox bow lakes which were previous courses of the rivers meandering.
Between Woodbury Hollow or Drummers maid the river has cut itself straight and you can see between here and the junction where Kates Cellar stream joins the Brook the remnants of dried out ox bow lakes quite far from the current course of the stream which indicates the extent of the streams previous meanderings.
Wake Valley is naturally spring fed. You can follow the small tributary ditches through Great Monkswood and see them gradually become a stream that cuts deep into the soft earth, as it wanders past the high ground leading up to the Lost pond in Bellringers hollow the river slows into Baldwins hill pond, a man made damn here that creates the pond disguises the deep cut the stream has made here.
Baldwins hill dam is not structurally stable and will see some major repair works in the near future. The pond has silted up somewhat over the recent years partially to reduce the stored water levels and reduce the pressure on the dam. This silting has created a fantastic woodland bog environment at the northern end of the pond and is quite a special habitat in its own right.
The water outlet of the pond drops around 6 meters to the stream below and this is for most the walk between here and Staples Road flood relief pond that is the pretty route to follow, personally I like to start right up at Wake Valley but that is a much longer walk. Going past the Staples Road dam the Brook quickly becomes hidden behind houses and Gardens as it travels on under the High Road and out along Brook Road an imaginative name!
Apart from a few points in Loughton you can walk this little stream from spring to river and see the gradual development along its way with the added benefit of spending most of that walk in the beautiful surroundings of the Forest. I would like to give thanks and credit to eyesuphigh.
