Trend Marketing Consultant Milton Keynes recorded the flooding at Ouse Valley Park which shows large swathes of the land under water.

The country park is surrounded by the River Great Ouse, which currently has a government flood alert stating that 'flooding is possible' and people should 'be prepared'.

A government spokesperson, commenting on the Upper River Great Ouse in Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, said: "River levels are continuing to decline at the Brackley river gauge. Flooding remains possible in low lying areas and next to watercourses.

"We expect flooding to affect the River Great Ouse from Brackley to Haversham, including Padbury Brook. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. We are continuing to monitor the situation."

A government graph shows the area's river levels near Stony Stratford hit 0.8m on Monday (October 5) and Tuesday (October 6).

To put that into context, when the river level reaches 0.3m minor flooding is possible.
