The watercourse nearest Eastbury

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Lambourn, about 10 m from the middle of Eastbury's gauges. It flows into the River Kennet about 23 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 Lambourn nearest the middle of Eastbury'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.
