Woodham Burn


Woodham Burn is a tributary of the River Skerne. It flows in a north-easterly direction through Newton Aycliffe in including Woodham Village, after which it is joined by Rushyford Beck, and changes to a south-early direction before joining the Skerne. Woodham Burn has a catchment area of about 35.2 km2, and is 18km long[1] (including Red House Beck). The valley of Woodouse Burn, cutting through Newton Aycliffe, is an important wildlife habitat, including a range of grassland, woodland and scrub. Much of the burn is managed by Great Aycliffe Town Council, however, some streches around  Stephenson Way are managed by Durham County Council.
