Huish Episcopi is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated on the outskirts of Langport, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Somerton. The parish has a population of 2,644, and includes the hamlets of Bowdens, Combe, Pibsbury and Wearne.
Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Huish Episcopi's gauges: Long Load Main Drain (about 10 m) and the River Ivel (River Yeo) (about 20 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.
Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Huish Episcopi'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.
