Wilfholme PS is monitored by 2 Environment Agency river level stations on the Beverley and Barmston Drain, the River Hull, in East Riding of Yorkshire. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
Two mapped watercourses are about the same distance from the middle of Wilfholme PS's gauges: Beverley and Barmston Drain (about 10 m) and the River Hull (about 10 m), so this page cannot say which one is nearer to you.
Distances along the river are from the point on each watercourse nearest the middle of Wilfholme PS'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.
