River Brue

The River Brue is a river in southwest England that flows through Somerset, eventually joining the Bristol Channel. It originates from the Polden Hills and travels about 30 miles, passing towns like Glastonbury and Street. The river has historically played a key role in agriculture and industry, with its flood plains supporting farming and its waters used for milling. Today, the River Brue is also important for local wildlife, recreation, and flood management. Its catchment area includes rural landscapes, wetlands, and agricultural land, making it an integral part of the region’s natural and economic environment.
