Everything about River Clwyd totally explained
The
River Clwyd is a
river in north
Wales. It has its
rises in the
Clocaenog forest five miles north west of
Corwen. It flows due south until at
Melin-y-Wig it veers northeastwards, tracking the
A494 to
Ruthin. Here it leaves the relatively narrow valley and enters a broad agricultural valley, the
Vale of Clwyd (Welsh:
Dyffryn Clwyd). Just south of
Denbigh it's joined by the
River Clywedog. This substantial tributary also has its source in the Clocaenog forest but drains out to the east and north of the forest and passes through
Cyffylliog,
Bontuchel and
Rhewl before its confluence with the main river.
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.
