Also on the Ewenny River by the river map, but filed under another river name: Felindre Road River Station and Keepers Lodge River Station.

Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Ewenny River above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

Where the Ewenny River goes

No gauge below Penybont River Station is known on the river map.

Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Ewenny River and have no gauge of their own. Each has a page with what is known about it: the next gauge downstream, and any storm overflows or water-sampling points placed on it.

  • Nant Ganna (joins about 2.2 km above Keepers Lodge River Station)
  • Nant Heol y geifr (joins about 3.2 km above Keepers Lodge River Station)

Storm overflows upstream

10 storm overflows are traced upstream of Penybont River Station, the Ewenny River’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Ewenny River itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Penybont River Station: 578 spills over 6,814 hours in total, across the 9 that have a figure. 1 has no 2025 figure.

Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Ewenny River includes the smaller streams that join it there.

A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.
