The watercourse nearest Stockbridge

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Test, about 20 m from the middle of Stockbridge's gauges. It flows into Southampton Water about 37 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 Test nearest the middle of Stockbridge'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.
