Farringdon is a civil parish in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 2.8 miles (4.5 km) south of Alton, on the A32 road, close to a source of the River Wey.
The river map has no watercourse within 1 km of the middle of Farringdon's gauges.
That means this spot is not on the river map, not that there is no water here: Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers) leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Farringdon is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the Groundwater Level, in Hampshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The Groundwater Level is monitored by 1 station (Lower Farringdon). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
There is 1 Environment Agency flood warning area within 10km of Farringdon. When the EA issues a flood warning for any of these areas, it will appear on this page. These include: Communities at risk of groundwater flooding in the Alton, Chawton and Lower Farringdon areas.

No recorded flood outline is mapped around the Farringdon town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. FloodRadar has separately logged 10 flood warnings or alerts for the Hampshire area since February 2026. See the flood history link below.
