Nunton is a small village and former civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-east of Salisbury, which has been part of Odstock parish since 1934. The former parish included the small village of Bodenham, 0.6 miles (0.97 km) to the east.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Ebble, about 10 m from the middle of Nunton's gauges. It flows into the River Avon about 1.4 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 Ebble nearest the middle of Nunton'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.
Nunton is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River Ebble, in Wiltshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The River Ebble is monitored by 1 station (Nunton Bridge). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
