Changelog

Path statuses now reflect live river-level readings from the Environment Agency rather than a static seed value. We match each path to its nearest gauging station and refresh every couple of hours.

• Statuses update automatically — no manual editing needed
• Each path page regenerates on a schedule so it stays current
• See how statuses work

The new path checker lets you search by name, place or waterway and see at a glance whether a route is passable, partly flooded or flooded — no account, no fuss.

• Search across every path on the map
• Clear status badges on every path page
• Browse all paths

Flood Path is live. It's a simple, free way to check whether a local cycle path, towpath or footpath is under water before you head out — starting with the routes people around Oxford check most.

Got a path that floods? Tell us about it and we'll add it to the map.
