About the River Afon Clywedog (Severn)

Afon Clywedog is an upland headwater tributary of the Severn in Powys. It is about 18 miles (29 km) long, with its source on the flanks of Plynlimon and its confluence with the Severn at Llanidloes. Annual rainfall over the catchment is between 1,737 and 1,836 mm. The river is dammed to form Llyn Clywedog, a reservoir built so that extra water could be released to keep up the flow of the Severn when it runs low. There are other streams called Clywedog in Wales, including one in the Ithon catchment.
