The River Wylye (/ˈwaɪli/ WY-lee), also known in its upper reaches as the River Deverill,[1] is a chalk stream in Wiltshire, England, with clear water flowing over gravel. It is popular with fly fishermen.[2] A half-mile stretch of the river and three lakes in Warminster are a local nature reserve.[3][4]
