River Wylye

Encyclopedia : R : RI : RIV : River Wylye

The River Wylye is a tributary of the River Avon in Wiltshire. It rises south-west of Warminster, and passes through that town. It heads generally east, forming the Wylye Valley, which the A36 road and the Wessex Main Line both use. It then meets the River Nadder at Wilton, and eventually drains to the sea by the River Avon.

Both Wilton and, indirectly, Wiltshire, are named after the river. There is also a village of Wylye.
