The watercourse nearest Ladock

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Tresillian River, about 10 m from the middle of Ladock's gauges. It flows into Truro River about 12 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 Tresillian River nearest the middle of Ladock'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.
