Werrington Brook

A stream near Milking Nook, City of Peterborough. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Werrington Brook is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Milking Nook, City of Peterborough, with about 1.7 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Car Dyke, which flows on into Folly River, then the River Welland and out to the sea.

Next gauge downstream

None before the water reaches tidal water, about 26 km downstream. Below that, gauges read the tide.

Storm overflows on Werrington Brook

A status says whether an overflow is discharging now, never how much or why. A monitor that is offline or has not reported is not “not discharging”. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →

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 Werrington Brook itself, so its own level is not known here.
Storm overflows are listed only where the river map places them on this stream; an overflow it could not place is not counted.
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.
