About Flood Path

A simple, free way to check whether a local path is under water before you head out.

What this is

Plenty of cycle paths, towpaths and footpaths flood after heavy rain — sometimes for an afternoon, sometimes for weeks. Flood Path collects the ones people check most so you can see at a glance whether to take your usual route or plan around it. No accounts, no fuss — open the path you care about and look.

How statuses work

  • PassableThe path is currently open and passable.
  • Partly floodedThe path is partly flooded — passable with care, you may need wellies in places.
  • FloodedThe path is flooded and not currently passable. Best find another way round.

Report a path

Statuses can change fast, and local knowledge is the best knowledge. If you’ve just walked or ridden a path and it doesn’t match what’s shown here, tell us and we’ll update it. Want a path added? Send us the name and location and we’ll get it on the map.
