For the first stretch of its route, the channel forms the boundary between the Reading suburbs of Beansheaf Farm, Fords Farm, Calcot, Southcote, Coley Park and Coley to the north and the Kennet water meadows to the south.
The parish takes its name from the Holy Brook, a watercourse which forms its southern boundary.
The Holy Brook runs underneath the Library and it is near The Oracle to the south west and to the north lies the beautiful Forbury Gardens.
