Filter by the latest company report. The map follows the filters. This is a location search, not a list of outlets proven to affect Crantock, and it does not include every possible source of pollution.
Filters apply to the map and list. Recent stops need a current report and a recorded stop time. They do not show whether water is safe.

Designation and a map point do not establish parking, lifeguard cover, access or a safe route. A stopped overflow report does not mean that the bathing water is safe.

Questions about Crantock

- The annual classification meets the Good class. The Environment Agency sets the class from water samples taken over several bathing seasons, not from a single visit.
