Cound Brook (pronounced COOnd[citation needed]) is a tributary of the River Severn in Shropshire, England, running to south of the county town Shrewsbury.

One of the main initial tributaries is the stream that runs through the Carding Mill Valley, which is named "Ashbrook" as it flows through Church Stretton.

In the village of All Stretton, the Ashbrook combines with another considerable stream that comes down the Batch valley, effectively forming the beginning of the Cound, at grid reference SO461953.

The embryonic river descends towards the Shropshire-Severn plain and heads north east, mirroring the route of the A49 main road and the Shrewsbury to Hereford railway line.

[4]) The Cound Brook now follows an increasingly meandering route across a low-lying flood plain, until it joins the River Severn a few hundred yards west of Eyton on Severn and about a mile south from Wroxeter (with its Roman city ruins), which is close to the northern end of the Watling Street Roman road from Dover.
