About the River Wye

The River Wye is the fourth-longest river in the UK, stretching some 250 kilometres from its source on Plynlimon in Mid Wales to the Severn Estuary. The lower reaches of the river form part of the border between England and Wales. The Wye Valley is designated a National Landscape. The Wye is important for nature conservation and recreation, and is affected by pollution.
