This page needs JavaScript to show today’s readings. Without it you can still read everything about a place — where it is, how it is classified, what discharges near it — but no warning, verdict or live reading will appear, and a blank space here does not mean the water is clear.

Waterfalls

645 named waterfalls in Britain and Ireland. Whether one is worth the walk today comes down to how much rain has fallen on it.

This is not the swimming side of the site. Waterfalls are not designated bathing waters: nobody samples them, forecasts them or signs them, so there is no water quality information for any of them. These pages tell you about flow, and what to be careful of.

By area

The same twenty areas the filter above uses, each with a page of its own — the browse structure the swimming half of the site has had all along.

Waterfalls with no name (1,876)

Three quarters of the waterfalls on the map carry no name in OpenStreetMap, so they have no page of their own. They are grouped by council area, with the same flow reading and directions as the named ones.
