Kirkby Mills is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Dove, in North Yorkshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Dove, about 50 m from the middle of Kirkby Mills's gauges. It flows into the River Rye about 10 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 Dove nearest the middle of Kirkby Mills'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.
