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 Bourne nearest the middle of Shipton Bellinger's gauges.

No recorded flood outline is mapped around the Shipton Bellinger town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. FloodRadar has separately logged 10 flood warnings or alerts for the Hampshire area since February 2026. See the flood history link below.
