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.
