Goodleigh is a village, civil parish and former manor in North Devon, England. The village lies about 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) north-east of the historic centre of Barnstaple. Apart from one adjunct at the south, it is generally a linear settlement.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Yeo, about 10 m from the middle of Goodleigh's gauges. It flows into the River Taw about 6.6 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 Yeo nearest the middle of Goodleigh'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.
Goodleigh is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Yeo, in Devon. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The River Yeo is monitored by 1 station (Collard Bridge). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
