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 Avon above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

River Avon — Bristol Avon Little Avon Axe and North Somerset St

18 gauged tributaries, 32 gauges

Each tributary’s water passes the gauge it joins above and every gauge below it on the Avon, and none of the gauges above where it joins. For each, the gauge nearest the Avon is shown; its own page lists the rest.

Where the Avon goes

Below Ashton Vale, its water next reaches Avonmouth Portbury, a gauge on an unnamed watercourse (distance by river not measured).

River Avon — Warwickshire Avon

16 gauged tributaries, 31 gauges

Each tributary’s water passes the gauge it joins above and every gauge below it on the Avon, and none of the gauges above where it joins. For each, the gauge nearest the Avon is shown; its own page lists the rest.

Bunches Brook name from the river map

Joins the Avon between Bidford on Avon and Evesham, no more than 12.8 km by river above Evesham. Nearest the Avon: Childswickham Normal; 1 more gauge further up.

Moyles Court0.10 mASD 21d agoold reading

Its water passes Knapp Mill and every gauge below it on the Avon. It does not pass East Mills Flume or the gauges above it.

Where the Avon goes

No gauge below Knapp Mill is known on the river map.

River Avon — Teign Torbay and South Hams

No gauged tributary joins the Avon above Loddiswell on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Avon goes

No gauge below Loddiswell 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.

River Avon — Bristol Avon Little Avon Axe and North Somerset St

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Avon 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.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Netham Weir: 6,019 spills over 34,410 hours in total, across the 317 that have a figure. 3 had no usable monitor data that year.

Where a stretch or a tributary has more than 2, the one discharging now or nearest its gauge is listed, the rest are counted, and every one is in that gauge’s “Upstream of here” list.

Within 3 km of one of the Avon’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.

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.

Water samples

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.

England's samples only. Each count opens the list of those points, nearest first, with the date of each one’s latest sample (the gauge’s “Upstream of here” list).

FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
