The Pipp Brook is a tributary of the River Mole. It rises at Mag's Well on the northern slopes of Leith Hill and runs to the north of Dorking town centre before joining the Mole at Pixham.
During the nineteenth century the sulphate-rich waters of the Mag's Well spring were believed to have healing properties.[1]
Watermills
During the 19th century there were six corn mills on the river (Rookery Mill, Westcott Mill, Milton Court Mill, Parsonage Mill, Pipp Brook Mill and Pixham Mill).[2]
