Wycoller Beck is a stream in Lancashire, running through Wycoller Country Park and the village of Wycoller in Pendle. It is 3.76 miles (6.05 km) long and has a catchment area of 4.04 square miles (10.46 km2).[1]

The river joins the River Laneshaw at Covey Bridge near Laneshaw Bridge to form Colne Water.[2]

Seven bridges cross Wycoller Beck. The Pack-Horse Bridge is probably the most important, being built some 800 years ago and reconstructed over the centuries.[3][4][5] Clam Bridge, more than 1000 years old is listed as an Ancient Monument. It was repaired in 1991, after being cracked in two in 1989 and 1990.[6][7]
