The watercourse nearest Eden Park

The nearest watercourse on the river map is St James Stream, about 10 m from the middle of Eden Park's gauges. It flows into Chaffinch Brook about 1.4 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 St James Stream nearest the middle of Eden Park'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.
