Bradshaw Brook is a river draining parts of Lancashire and Greater Manchester in Northern England.

From there, the river traverses Turton Bottoms and passes Chapeltown before feeding Jumbles Reservoir (along with Hazelhurst Brook).

The woodlands are native broadleaf trees and are separated by meadow areas.

At the northern end is a disused quarry with pond areas.

The brook, a tributary of the River Croal, flows through the reserve from Jumbles Reservoir.
