What the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk data says about Leominster

Ordnance Survey places 75 postcodes in Leominster in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset (Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea). Each postcode is counted once, under the worst band any of its properties reaches; together they hold 1,305 properties in the EA dataset's likelihood bands.

This dataset covers flooding from rivers and the sea only — one of five flood sources. Surface water, groundwater, sewers and reservoirs are assessed separately, so a postcode missing from it is not proof that a place cannot flood. The band describes the land around properties (allowing for defences), not any single address and not today's conditions.

Rivers and live river levels near Leominster

Environment Agency gauges within 10 km of Leominster watch River Lugg, Kenwater, River Arrow, Mill Brook.

Distances are from the middle of Leominster's at-risk postcodes. Tidal and structure gauges are shown as readings only — the tide and sluice gates move them, not floods. A gauge with no recent reading shows no level.

The watercourse nearest Leominster

Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Leominster's at-risk postcodes: the River Lugg (about 380 m) and Kenwater (about 430 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 Leominster's at-risk postcodes. 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.
