River Glyme

The Glyme is a tributary of the River Evenlode. It rises near Chipping Norton and is joined by the Heythrop Stream above Enstone and the River Dorn at Wootton (at the top end of our fishing). It then flows through water meadows into Woodstock where it feeds the ornamental lakes of Blenheim Palace. Below Blenheim the river flows into the River Evenlode near Bladon.

The Glyme is not particularly fast flowing but is renowned for its prolific mayfly hatch and while it is a small stream it has produced some specimen trout over the years.
