 Rake Brook rises at "Brown Hill" on "Withnell Moor" and flows northward, draining the west side of "Cold Within Hill" before pouring through "Birch Clough", separating "Twist Moor" and "Roddlesworth Moor" and feeding "Rake Brook Reservoir", formerly populated by "Rake Wood".The confluence of Rake Brook and the River Roddlesworth is in "Benson's Wood", just after the end of the overflow from the Roddlesworth Reservoirs.Rake Brook Reservoir is also fed by another stream rising on Withnell Moor.
