About the River Alyn
The River Alyn, Afon Alun in Welsh, is a river in north east Wales and a tributary of the Dee, about 30 miles from source to confluence. It rises in the Clwydian hills south of Llandegla and flows north past Llanarmon yn Iâl and Loggerheads, where it runs through a limestone gorge. In parts the bed is dry for much of the year, as the water goes underground.
Below Loggerheads it turns east through Mold, then south east by Caergwrle and on towards Gresford and Rossett, before joining the Dee close to the border with England. The Alyn Valley forms part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
On the lower river, around Rossett and Gresford, it is a small rain fed stream over stone and gravel. It responds quickly to rain and can rise or fall about two feet in a few hours. Brown trout have long been the main quarry, and grayling have turned up in catches since 2008. Salmon and sea trout are seen each year at Rossett weir, though they seldom stay.
