Hordern Stoops, at the base of Will Narr hill, is the source of the
River Yarrow. As with many rivers, the source is not some big,
defined spring, more a mucky pool of indeterminate origin.
The river feeds the reservoirs at Anglezarke and Rivington, and
outlets to join Black Brook at Yarrow Bridge, then continues
through the ancient woodland of Duxbury into Yarrow Valley Park and
onto Eccleston and Croston, where it feeds the River Douglas at
Sollom just before its inlet into the River Ribble brackish final
stretch. The entire course of the River Yarrow falls within Chorley
and its villages. Parts of the river are a County Biological
Heritage Site.
Take a look at the local boundaries, which pass through the
middle of the reservoirs. These boundaries were formed on the
course of the original riverbed.
