Bellever is a hamlet in Dartmoor, Devon, England. It is located on the river East Dart about 2 kilometres (1 mi) south of Postbridge.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is East Dart River, about 10 m from the middle of Bellever's gauges. It flows into the River Dart about 5.7 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 East Dart River nearest the middle of Bellever's gauges. 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.
Bellever is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the East Dart River, in Devon. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The East Dart River is monitored by 1 station (Bellever). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
No Environment Agency flood warning area is mapped within 10km of Bellever. That means the EA has not defined a warning target area here, which is not evidence the town cannot flood: warning areas exist where the EA runs a warning service, and surface-water and groundwater flooding have no warning areas at all.
