Myton-On-Swale is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Swale, in North Yorkshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Swale, about 10 m from the middle of Myton-On-Swale's gauges. It flows into the River Ure about 1.3 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 Swale nearest the middle of Myton-On-Swale'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.
