River Boyd

The River Boyd is a river of some in length which rises near Dodington in South Gloucestershire, England. It is a tributary of the Bristol Avon, running in a southerly direction and joining near Bitton. The flow rate at Bitton is an average . It was immortalised in the 1613 poem by John Dennys of Pucklechurch ''The Secrets of Angling'', the earliest English poetical tract on fishing:

And thou sweet Boyd that with thy watry sway

Dost wash the cliffes of Deington and of Weeke

And through their Rockes with crooked winding way

Thy mother Avon runnest soft to seeke

In whose fayre streames the speckled Trout doth play

The Roche the Dace the Gudgin and the Bleeke

Teach me the skill with slender Line and Hooke

To take each Fish of River Pond and Brooke.〔Dennys, John. The Secrets of Angling. Book 1, Verse 3.〕


In common with other rivers of the area, watermills were used for various industrial undertakings, most notably the Wick Golden Valley Ochre Works. The former works site is now a local nature reserve and the river and valley form part of a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.

The Boyd rises from springs near Sands Farm, just south of Dodington Chase. Several small tributaries join on the right from springs issuing from a ridge of high land to the north. The river then passes underneath the M4 motorway, being joined by further streams from the direction of Codrington. Just before Doynton tributaries emanating from Dyrham join on the left bank. The Feltham Brook joins on the right bank, from the direction of Pucklechurch, near Doynton House and the river then passes under Cleeve Bridge and enters the steep Golden Valley, where a nature reserve has been established.
Passing under Boyd Bridge in Wick, the river turns in a southerly direction, running parallel to the Monarch's Way long distance footpath. Emerging from Golden Valley just north of Bitton, the Boyd skirts the village and then meanders across river meadows before joining the Bristol Avon adjacent to the point where the Bristol and Bath Railway Path crosses the Avon.
