About the River Ceiriog
The River Ceiriog, Afon Ceiriog in Welsh, is a river of about 18 miles in north east Wales and a tributary of the Dee. It rises on the slopes of Moel Fferna in the Berwyn Mountains, at around 1,800 feet, and flows east past Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog and Tregeiriog. It then turns north east by Glyn Ceiriog and east again through Pontfadog, in the Ceiriog Valley.
It is thought to be the steepest river in Wales, falling some 515 metres over its course, and it can run fast and wild. At Chirk the Llangollen Canal crosses it on the Chirk Aqueduct and the Shrewsbury to Chester railway on the Chirk Viaduct. For some miles it forms the border between Wales and Shropshire, before it joins the Dee east of Chirk.
The Ceiriog holds brown trout and is an important spawning river for salmon, with sea trout running as well. Grayling were introduced in recent years and keep to the lower reaches around Chirk. The river is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
