The watercourse nearest Weldon

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Willow Brook, about 10 m from the middle of Weldon's gauges. It flows into the River Nene about 27 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 Willow Brook nearest the middle of Weldon'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.
