Sebergham is a village and civil parish in the Cumberland district, in the ceremonial county of Cumbria, England. It is located on the B5305, south of Carlisle and south-east of Wigton. The civil parish population at the 2011 Census was 365. The parish includes Welton.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Caldew, about 10 m from the middle of Sebergham's gauges. It flows into the River Eden about 19 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 Caldew nearest the middle of Sebergham'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.
