River Ray, Wiltshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Ray is a tributary of the River Thames in England which flows through Wiltshire.
The river rises at Wroughton to south of Swindon and runs to the west of the town via Shaw.[1] It joins the Thames on the southern bank near Cricklade just upstream of Water Eaton House Bridge. The river has been subject to a restoration project run by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. The final stage completed in December 2007 was to build a tunnel near the Great Western Way at Rivermead to allow the nine species of fish to travel the length of the river without obstruction. [2]
