River Wye, Major river in central Wales and western England

The River Wye stretches 250 kilometers from Plynlimon mountain, flowing through valleys before joining the Severn Estuary near Chepstow.

The Rivers Wye and Lugg Navigation Act of 1662 established regulations to remove obstacles and improve water transport routes for coal and timber.

The River Wye forms a natural border between England and Wales, passing through numerous market towns and medieval settlements along its course.

Multiple entry points and rental facilities allow visitors to practice canoeing and kayaking on different sections of the river throughout the year.

The river contains two separate Sites of Special Scientific Interest, protecting distinct ecosystems in its upper and lower sections.
