Overview
The Moss is a brook in North East Derbyshire, England.
When Rother Valley Country Park was built in the 1980s, constructors used water from The Moss to fill the lakes.
Name
The name of the river derives from Moss Beck, which means 'stream through marshy ground'.
Course
The river flows through the Moss Valley and through the villages of Geerlane, Birley Hay, Ford and Eckington. It passes through several areas of woodland, including Coalpit Wood, Long Wood and Eckington Park. The main tributaries of The Moss are the Robin Brook, the Owler Car Brook, Sickle Brook, Troway Brook, Sloadlane Brook, and Ridgeway Brook.
