River Crouch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Crouch is a river that flows entirely through the English county of Essex.
The Crouch rises near Noak Bridge, Basildon and then follows a generally easterly course passing by, near or through:
- the centre of Wickford, where it flows along concrete culvert
- Runwell
- Battlesbridge (the head of the 17½ mile 'River Crouch Navigation')
- North of Hullbridge and south of South Woodham Ferrers
- Between North Fambridge and South Fambridge
- Creeksea
- Burnham-on-Crouch
The river flows into the North Sea between Holliwell Point (grid reference TR026963) and Foulness Point (TR048954) on its north and south banks respectively.
A major tributary to the River Crouch is the River Roach.
