The watercourse nearest St Neot

The nearest watercourse on the river map is St Neot River (River Loveny), about 10 m from the middle of St Neot's gauges. It flows into the River Fowey about 1.2 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 St Neot River (River Loveny) nearest the middle of St Neot'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.
