Scarrow Beck is a minor watercourse which rises in the north of the English county of Norfolk. It is a tributary of the River Bure. Its spring is in the North Norfolk village of Aylmerton west of the main street. It eventually merges, after 7.7 miles (12.4 km) with the River Bure at Ingworth just north of the Blickling Hall estate. There are two watermills[1][2] on the beck, both of which are no longer in working order. A third windmill at Gresham[3] stands on Gur Beck, a small tributary of Scarrow Beck.
