Rushyford Beck


Rushyford Beck is a stream which is a tributary of Woodham Burn, which feeds into the River Skerne. Rushyford Beck flows in a roughly south easterly direction, through Leasingthorne and Rushyford, before joining Woodham Burn to the north-east of Newton Aycliffe. Rushyford Beck is about 7.7 km long, with a catchment area of 17.4 km2.[1]  Historically, there were a couple of water-powered corn mills on Rushyford Beck; a mill at what is now Millwood Farm[2], by Mill Wood, to the noth-west of Rushyford; and what is now Merrington Mill Farm[3].
