The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Ray, about 70 m from the middle of Haydon Wick's gauges. It flows into the River Thames about 11 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 Ray nearest the middle of Haydon Wick'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.
