Moor Brook

A stream near Okehampton, Devon. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Moor Brook is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Okehampton, Devon, with about 2.8 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into East Okement River, which flows on into the River Okement, then the River Torridge and out to the sea.

Next gauge downstream

Okehampton Mill Road on East Okement River, about 2.8 km along the river below where Moor Brook ends on the map.

After that, Jacobstowe, about 12 km along the river.

No gauge measures Moor Brook itself. A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed it, mixed with everything else that has joined on the way, so it says nothing exact about this stream.

Water-sampling points on Moor Brook

3 Environment Agency sampling points are placed on this stream. These are dated samples taken by hand, not live readings, and FloodRadar does not grade them.

What this page can and cannot tell you

Its line, its name and where it flows come from Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small streams, ditches and culverts. “Flows into” is the map’s word: a channel that is not on the map is not shown here, which does not mean it is not there.
No gauge measures Moor Brook itself, so its own level is not known here.
No storm overflow is placed on this stream on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map cannot place every overflow.
Water samples are England’s only (the Environment Agency’s archive), placed where the map can place their sampling point.
Nothing on this page says whether any place floods. For an address, see its postcode page.
