The River Glyme is a small Oxfordshire river and a tributary of the Evenlode. Its name comes from the Brittonic for bright stream. It rises about a mile east of Chipping Norton and runs south-east past Old Chalford, Enstone, Kiddington and Glympton to Wootton, where the River Dorn joins it, and on into Woodstock. The Heythrop Stream comes in above Enstone.
At Blenheim it feeds the lake that Capability Brown made in front of the palace, and just south of the park it joins the Evenlode near Bladon. The river is dammed at Cleveley, Kiddington and Glympton as well as at Blenheim. The upper valley around its headwaters is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the Glyme Valley Way footpath follows almost its whole course.
It is not a particularly fast flowing river, and it is a small one, but it has produced some specimen trout over the years and it is best known for a prolific mayfly hatch.
Fishing on the Glyme is privately held, so check the details for the stretch you plan to fish.
