The watercourse nearest Belmont

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Afon Gwy (River Wye), about 20 m from the middle of Belmont's gauges. It flows into Afon Hafren (River Severn) about 114 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 Afon Gwy (River Wye) nearest the middle of Belmont'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.
