The significant tributary of the Cound Brook joins the Severn at Eyton, albeit on the opposite bank.

There is a historical octagonal tower here, built in 1607 as the summerhouse of a mansion then belonging to the Newport family of High Ercall.

[1] Sir Francis Newport rebuilt the mansion in a version completed by 1595, Walter Hancock being its master mason, but only the tower remains from his lifetime.

[2] The Shrewsbury architect Thomas Farnolls Pritchard lived in the tower at Eyton from 1769 until his death in 1777.

[3] There is also a racecourse, with point-to-point races held mainly on bank holidays and other special occasions.
