The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.

The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long. The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
