THE RIVER WYE By Lorenzo Evans

WHERE:  The River Wye’s source is in the Welsh mountains at Plynimon.  It flows past several villages including Rhayader, Builth Wells, Hey-on-Wye, Hereford (the only city on the river Wye), Ross-on-Wye, Symonds Yat, Monmouth and Tintern.  It meets the Severn estuary just below Chepstow.  It’s total length is 134 miles (216km).  The lower 16 miles (26km) from Redbrook to Chepstow forms the border between England and Wales.

FACTS :  The river Wye is famous for its salmon. It is a great place to fish for there is no pollution.  The river Wye has many tributaries, so many that some of them still haven’t been named!  The river is also a great place for sport (find out more on the next slide).  The Romans made a bridge across the river Wye upstream from the present day Chepstow. It was improved by Sir William Sandys in the 1660s.  A horse towing path was added in 1808, but only up to Hereford.  The Wye remained commercially navigable until the 1850s when commercial traffic moved in.  The river Wye is still navigable up to Monmouth.

SPORT :  The river Wye offers canoeing and kayaking for all ages.  I have been canoeing on the river Wye!!!  Kayaking lessons are available near the villages.  Canoes have 2 or 3 seats depending if you get a large one or a normal one.  You have single paddle oars; one for each person.  FACT: For canoeing and kayaking, you can do grades, just like instruments!

FEATURES : The river Wye has a lot of different features, including some of the ones we looked at in class:  Meanders  V-shaped valley/ erosion (lower course)  Waterfalls  Deposition  Artificial rapids  Braided channel  Tributaries (learn more about the Wye’s tributaries on the next slide).

TRIBUTARIES : Tarenning The river Lug Trothy Ithon The Letton lake Bindo The river Wye has loads of tributaries; so many that no one knows all of them !: Elan Dulas Ifron Marteg Monnow and many more!
