River Evenlode
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Evenlode is a small river in England which is a tributary of the Thames in Oxfordshire. It rises near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire in the Cotswold Hills and flows south-east passing near Stow-on-the-Wold, Bladon, and Eynsham.
The River Evenlode passes through many towns in Oxfordshire including Ascott-under-Wychwood, Chadlington, Charlbury and Cassington. The river joins the Thames several miles down river from Cassington on the reach above King's Lock 3 miles (5 km) north-west of Oxford.
The river is is largely privately owned, used for fishing and other leisure activities. The Environment Agency has undertaken restoration work, as of 2008, to recover from the effects of excessive dredging[1] Powered craft are not allowed on the river. Hillaire Belloc commemorated the river in some of his poetry.
