The watercourse nearest Ickenham

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Pinn, about 10 m from the middle of Ickenham's gauges. It flows into Fray's River about 7.1 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 Pinn nearest the middle of Ickenham'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.
