Cuddington is a village and civil parish within the Buckinghamshire district in the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, England. It is near the Oxfordshire border, about six miles west of Aylesbury.
Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Cuddington's gauges: an unnamed stream (about 30 m) and the River Thame (about 60 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.
Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Cuddington'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.
Cuddington is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
