River Wye
The River Wye ((ウェールズ語:Afon Gwy)) is the fifth-longest river in the UK, stretching some from source to sea. For much of its length the river forms part of the border between England and Wales. The Wye Valley (lower part) is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Natural England )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Natural England )〕 The Wye is important for nature conservation and recreation.
==Etymology==
The Wye's Latin name is ''Vaga'', an adjective meaning 'wandering'. The Tithe map references a Vagas Field in both Whitchurch and Chepstow.〔The Tithe map (1844)〕 The modern Welsh name ''Gwy'' may be derived from old Welsh ''Gwybiol'' or ''Gwyr'' (crooked wandering hills).〔David Hancocks, ''Dean Archaeology'' No. 11, 1998 p39 ISSN: 0954-8874〕
