Several small springs merge into the river near Wadeford it then flows north past Donyatt, Ilminster, Puckington, and Isle Abbotts, before joining the Parrett. The first section of the river falls {{convert|250|ft|m}} in {{convert|6|mi|km}} and then falls less steeply falling {{convert|80|ft|m}} during the subsequent {{convert|8|mi|km}}.[1] As a result, several mills were built on the upper reaches of the river. At least one mill was in existence at the time of the Domesday Book. These mills were an important part of the local economy connecting with the wool trade.[2] The road bridge over the river at Knowle St Giles is a Grade II listed building.[3] A lock was built at the junction with the River Parrett, to maintain water levels, when the Westport Canal was built in the 1830s. The canal joins the river approximately {{convert|1|mi|km}} before the confluence with the Parrett.[4] Chard Reservoir was built by damming the river in the 1840s to provide water for the Chard Canal.[5]References1. ^{{cite web|title=River Isle|url=http://somersetrivers.org/index.php?module=Content&func=view&pid=18|publisher=Somerset Rivers|accessdate=2 September 2011}} {{Somerset}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Warren |first=Derrick |title=Mills of the Isle |url=http://www.combestnicholas.org.uk/about_the_parish/Mills%20on%20the%20Isle.htm |publisher=Combe St Nicholas |accessdate=2 September 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120331144500/http://www.combestnicholas.org.uk/about_the_parish/Mills%20on%20the%20Isle.htm |archivedate=31 March 2012 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Road Bridge over River Isle|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-262191-road-bridge-over-river-isle-knowle-st-gi|publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=2 September 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=River Isle|url=http://somersetrivers.org/index.php?module=Content&func=view&pid=18|publisher=Somerset Rivers|accessdate=2 September 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.southsomerset.gov.uk/media/41561/chard_reservoir_leaflet.pdf | title=Chard Reservoir leaflet | publisher=south Somerset Council | accessdate=18 November 2010}} 2 : Rivers of Somerset|Parrett catchment |
