Summary

This dataset has been superceded by the Flood Risk Assessment Wales dataset. It is therefore no longer updated. You can still view your risk of flooding by postcode on our website https://naturalresources.wales/flooding/check-your-flood-risk-by-postcode/?lang=en

This is a national assessment of flood risk for Wales produced using local expertise. The dataset shows the chance of flooding from rivers and/or the sea, based on cells of 50 m. Each cell is allocated one of four flood risk categories, taking into account flood defences and their condition. No more detailed resolution is provided.
