The river is seen here from the A449 at Bull Bridge. The River Penk has its source in Perton three miles from Wolverhampton. Its course is mainly through South Staffordshire draining most of the northern part of that district, together with some adjoining areas of Cannock Chase, Stafford, Wolverhampton, and Shropshire. It flows into the River Sow, which is a tributary of the River Trent, so its waters flow eventually into the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. (Details from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Penk )
