River Weaver at Hayhurst Bridge · 44 m away
The usual gauge for this path (Hayhurst Bridge) has stopped reporting — feeds pause sometimes. This reading comes from the nearest live backup gauge instead.
That’s below the level where this path usually starts to flood.
This flood line starts from years of this gauge’s history — the level the river only tops a few days a year. Reports of a flooded or passable day will tune it to the path itself.
About this path
The Weaver Way follows the navigation towpath through Northwich past Hunts Lock and Hayhurst Bridge. The canalised Weaver floods when its sluices cannot discharge storm water fast enough: the 2019 and early-2021 floods put moorings and towpaths under water, with boats left stranded on the path as levels fell.
