Does WR10 2LH flood?

Naunton Beauchamp, Worcestershire

Up to Medium likelihood

Properties in WR10 2LH sit in the Environment Agency's Medium flood-likelihood band (worst property). The band is the worst found in the postcode — it describes the land around properties (defence-adjusted, rivers & sea), not any single address, and not today's conditions.

Likelihood bandAnnual chancePropertiesOf which homes
Highgreater than 3.3%00
Medium1% – 3.3%10
Low0.1% – 1%00
Very lowbelow 0.1%00

Over a 25-year mortgage, a property in a medium-likelihood area has a 22–57% chance of flooding at least once.

How much rain falls on WR10 2LH

WR10 2LH gets about 659 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 67 mm; driest March, 42 mm). That is 43% drier than the UK as a whole, which averages 1,163 mm a year.

A thirty-year average for the surrounding area, not a measurement at this address and not a flood risk on its own: a dry area floods when a storm sits over it, and a wet one may drain away perfectly well.

The watercourse nearest WR10 2LH

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Piddle Brook, about 290 m from the centre of WR10 2LH. It flows into the River Avon about 8.8 km downstream.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Piddle Brook nearest the centre of WR10 2LH. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
