The Wylye is generally regarded as the most notable of the Avon tributaries. It rises five miles south of Warminster and flows north to the town; this uppermost reach is sometimes referred to as 'The Deverill Brook'. Turning westward, it flows for another sixteen miles to join the Nadder just below Wilton, shortly before the latter reaches the Avon at Salisbury a mile or so further on. Looking upstream.
