Stock Beck leaves the town before heading northwest to meet Fools Syke and then Hell Forest Dike near Gilbeber Hill. After passing under the Monks Bridge on the A59 road at Horton it collects Horton Beck and heads west. It meets Flush Beck and then Bottom Beck near the hamlet of Bracewell. After the confluence with Spittle Syke, it passes under the Stock Beck viaduct on the Ribble Valley line and the A682 Long Preston road, north of the village Gisburn and joins the River Ribble at Gisburne Park.[2]
