About the River Afon Lledr

The Afon Lledr is the second major tributary of the River Conwy, about 10 miles long and flowing generally east. It rises on the eastern slopes of Ysgafell Wen, about three kilometres north east of Cnicht, and runs north east towards Blaenau Dolwyddelan, where Ceunant Tyโ€™n y Ddol joins it. It then passes under the Roman Bridge and through Dolwyddelan, where the Afon Penamnen joins, and carries on past Pont-y-Pant.
