The River Avon
‘lighter than a spark, brighter than crystal, purer than gold, sweeter than ambrosia, is this liquid’Unknown 13th Century Poet
Geography
Often called the Salisbury Avon, the Avon is large and deep enough for the Saxons to sail their ships up the river.
It springs from two sources in the Vale of Pewsey on the border with Gentian, meeting in the city of Upavon, whereas it makes it way down through Salisbury, being joined by several tributaries as it converges near Sarum itself. Then, it runs alongside the heights of the Cranborne Chase as it makes it's way down past the Dorset Woodlands and meets with the River Stour, ending up in the sea. It's tributaries are the The River Wylve , the Naddar, the Ebble and the Bourne.
