The Piddle Brook is a watercourse in Worcestershire; It starts in Kington and flows past the villages of Flyford Flavell, North Piddle, Naunton Beauchamp and Wyre Piddle before joining the River Avon near Pershore.
The Wyre Piddle Brewery is based about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the brook from which it takes the names of its beers, such as Piddle in the Hole, Piddle in the Wind, Piddle in the Dark & Piddle in the Snow.
In 2009 Worcestershire Wildlife Trust purchased the meadows in Naunton Beauchamp which Piddle Brook flows through.
The brook is forded on the road to Naunton Beauchamp at Sea Ford.

Famous quotes containing the word brook:
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
