Chew Stoke is a small village and civil parish in Chew Valley, in Somerset, England, about 8 miles (13 km) south of Bristol and 10 miles (16 km) north of Wells. It is at the northern edge of the Mendip Hills, a region designated by the United Kingdom as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is within the Bristol and Bath green belt. The parish includes the hamlet of Breach Hill, which is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Chew Stoke itself.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Babylon Brook, about 10 m from the middle of Chew Stoke's gauges. It flows into the River Chew about 1.5 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 Babylon Brook nearest the middle of Chew Stoke'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.
