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 classic riverside walk from Newnham across the floodplain meadows to Grantchester, on the unsurfaced path beside the river. The charity that manages the meadows warns the riverside path can be flooded or very wet, and the meadows sit inside a flood warning area — they went fully under in 1978 and 2014.
