The length of the Finham and Inchford brooks is 15 miles (24 km), which have a total catchment area of 71 square kilometres (27 sq mi).

[1][2][3] The brook rises near Burton Green south-west of Coventry, and flows initially in a south-easterly direction, to reach the outskirts of Kenilworth.

It then flows through Abbey Fields until it is crossed by the A452, and continues through the Mill End area of the town, and alongside the Common to meet the Canley Brook near Crackley.

The brook continues in a north-easterly direction, passing beneath the dual carriageway of the A46, to flow through Finham sewage works, to meet the Sowe upstream of Stoneleigh.

[1][2][3] The Inchford and Finham brooks were dammed by the Tiltyard causeway to create a lake and water defence for Kenilworth Castle by King John in the 13th century.
