  Riverford Farm Shop - Real organic and local food
Yeo Valley is probably the biggest organic brand in the country and Riverford gets it straight from the factory at 'factory gate' prices.
Yeo Valley made its name with its full fat yoghurts and these, particularly the natural, strawberry and raspberry are superlatively good.
The Yeo Valley frozen yoghurts and sorbets are equally good and the Creme Fraiche Ice Cream with Blackcurrant swirls is (I never thought I would say this) 'to die for'.

 Ilchester
Ilchester or Ivelchester (from the river Ivel or Yeo, on which it stands) is in the hundred of Tintinhull, 124 miles west by south of London by Andover and Amesbury, and 22 miles east of Taunton by Langport.
This town is of great antiquity ; the British name is given by Nennius as Caer Pensavelcoit, which is said to signify 'the city at the head of the river’s mouth in the wood' : it was the Ischalis of the Romans, mentioned by Ptolemy, as one of the chief towns of the Belgae.
The town is in a rich valley, and may be considered as consisting of two parts, Ilchester proper and the village of Nothover ; these are separated by the river Yeo or Ivel, which is crossed by a stone bridge of two large arches.

 INTRODUCTION
The river Parrett and its tributaries, the Tone, Yeo and Isle, form the principal river basin in Somerset, with the tide and the tidal bore running as far inland as Langport and up the Tone to within three miles of Taunton.
Of the other rivers only the Axe and the Brue were used in their lower reaches for navigation.
The building of watermills with weirs and sluices on these rivers caused difficulties over navigation, and to maintain or improve this the river was made wider or deeper, or even straightened by a new artificial channel.

 Genesee River : September 11, 1813 - Action Report
As the distance gradually closed between the two opposing squadrons, a signal was sent from Commodore Yeo, aboard the Wolfe, to the Sidney Smith ordering it to turn to directly towards the American line.
Accepting the fact that the Wolfe, having lost its main masts, and therefore the ability to maneuver, Yeo resolved himself to transfer his flag to the Lord Melville, which was accomplished almost unnoticed owing to the smoke hanging over the lead ships.
Yeo, having lost his two largest ships, had no intention of losing any more this day, and signaled the squadron to break off action.

 Guardian | Natural history
It was a fortnight since we had stood in the fields outside Ilchester and looked at the track that leads in a straight line from the packhorse bridge there towards the village of Long Load.
I was looking back from the other end of that track, and standing beside the much more ancient and substantial bridge that carries the road from Ilchester to Langport across the river Yeo.
The winding river is in a deep gully here with embankments on each side, which are high but not high enough always to contain the river.

The boundary makes a sharp angle as it approaches the River Yeo ; this is characteristic of an ancient field boundary, and suggests that we are in the vicinity of the "Hagenmendewe", according to Grundy "meadow near the game enclosure", though this seems a cumbersome translation of what appears a simple "Meadow-Hedge".
Meadow implies the hay-meads that usually bordered the river; and the boundary follows the sharp angles of the hedge, down to the River Yeo itself.
The "Wringford" of the charter must have been either at this junction of the river and the stream, as the Burrington parish and 1740 manor boundaries show, or perhaps at the shallower crossing of Emley Bridge; aJthough this latter would leave a long and somewhat complicated gap unfilled in the charter land-marks.

The landscape consists of the valley of the River Chew and is generally low-lying and undulating.

The mills of the River Chew, sometimes dating back at least to Domesday, are also an important feature whilst old quarries, limekilns and early field boundaries are now only evident as undulations on the ground.

Barnstaple, the town on the Taw, is positioned on the first safe fording of the tidal river, six miles from the sea.
It's immediately upstream of the tributary River Yeo, the waters of which, when added to the Taw's, made a channel too deep to cross, even at low tide.
The motte and bailey castle was erected over a Saxon graveyard on the western side of the town, thereby commanding the Saxon town to the east, the river crossings of the Taw to the south, the Yeo to the north.
