Web cams and E.A. live river level gauges

Exe bridge web cam

This web cam overlooks the River Exe at the Exe bridge, next to the Anchor Inn, high in the Exe valley. This is just down stream of the confluence of the River Exe and the River Barle. There is no Gauge here, it is just a visual indication of the river levels.

Thorverton weir Web cam

This web cam has been provided by the Environment Agency in association with the BCU and shows the level of the Exe at the Gauging weir at Thorverton (half way between Tiverton and Exeter). It gives a good general idea of the levels in the Exe and is worth looking at before traveling. Note that the Culm enters below the gauge so there may be more (or less) water at pots than we think. Please keep an eye on the readings and levels, and we will update this guide as you inform us and as we learn more.
