The nearest watercourse on the river map is Brislington Brook, about 10 m from the middle of Brislington's gauges. It flows into the River Avon about 3.4 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 Brislington Brook nearest the middle of Brislington's gauges.
