Information About

River Clwyd




Then the Clwyd meanders northwards through the fertile Clwyd valley to St Asaph . Two miles north of St Asaph, the river is joined by a tributary as large as the main river, the River Elwy . In normal flows at low tide, the waters of these two rivers can be seen flowing side by side down the river with little mixing.

The River Elwy has its source a long way to the west on the flanks of Moel Seisiog south-east of Llanrwst . It also has a tributary the River Aled with its source in the upland lake Llyn Aled . The Elwy flows principally eastwards to join the Clwyd passing through few villages. At the confluence of the Elwy and the Clwyd, the river becomes tidal and enters a rather unattractive narrow estuary before meeting the Irish Sea at Rhyl .
