- The River Boyd is a river of some 7 miles (11 km) 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 19.8 cubic feet per second (0.56 m3/s). 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 swayDost wash the cliffes of Deington and of WeekeAnd through their Rockes with crooked winding wayThy mother Avon runnest soft to seekeIn whose fayre streames the speckled Trout doth playThe Roche the Dace the Gudgin and the BleekeTeach me the skill with slender Line and HookeTo take each Fish of River Pond and Brooke. 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. (en)
