About the River Afon Goedol

The Afon Goedol is a small river in Gwynedd. Water from Moelwyn Mawr drains into Llyn Ystradau, whose outflow is the source of the Goedol. The River Bowydd joins it, and at Rhyd-y-Sarn it meets the Afon Teigl, after which the river is known as the Dwyryd. A local angling association lists the Afon Goedol among four rivers it fishes for salmon and sea trout.
