The watercourse nearest Park Hill

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Tame, about 10 m from the middle of Park Hill's gauges. It flows into the River Trent about 64 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 Tame nearest the middle of Park Hill'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.
