Welcome to The Lyd

The Lyd is a small river that flows through the county of Gloucestershire in England. It is a tributary of the River Severn and is approximately 18 miles long. The river rises in the Cotswold Hills near the village of Naunton and flows through the towns of Cheltenham and Tewkesbury before joining the River Severn at Lower Lode.

The Lyd is a popular destination for anglers, with a variety of fish species including brown trout, grayling, and chub. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles. The Lyd is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its importance for wildlife and its geological features.

The Lyd has played an important role in the history of Gloucestershire, with several mills and factories being built along its banks in the past. Today, the river is mainly used for recreational purposes, with many people enjoying activities such as fishing, canoeing, and walking along its banks. The Lyd is a beautiful and peaceful river that is a valuable asset to the local community and a popular destination for visitors to the area.
