The watercourse nearest Bromyard

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Frome, about 10 m from the middle of Bromyard's gauges. It flows into the River Lugg about 28 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 the River Frome nearest the middle of Bromyard'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.
