About the River Aeron
The River Aeron, Afon Aeron in Welsh, is a small river in Ceredigion that flows into Cardigan Bay at Aberaeron. It rises at Llyn Eiddwen in the hills of Mynydd Bach and runs west, then north west, through a broad valley of low hills, passing Talsarn, Felinfach, Ystrad Aeron and Ciliau Aeron. A mile or so further on it runs close to the National Trust house at Llanerchaeron before entering the harbour town.
The name is usually taken to mean battle or slaughter, from the Middle Welsh word aer. Dylan Thomas lived near the river in the 1940s and called the valley the most precious place in the world, and a trail named for him follows the river from Talsarn to the sea.
Despite its size the River Aeron holds a population of salmon and brown trout. Sea trout (sewin) run it as well. Pollution from farming, forestry and old sewage problems has affected it over the years.
