About the River Tarell
The River Tarell, Afon Tarell in Welsh, rises to the west of the Brecon Beacons in the national park and flows north, then north east, for 12 miles to join the Usk at Llanfaes, on the southern edge of Brecon. The A470 follows the whole river through Glyn Tarell, past hamlets such as Libanus and Tai’r Bull. Its most significant tributary is Nant Cwm Llwch, which flows out of the glacial lake of Llyn Cwm Llwch beneath Pen y Fan.
The Tarell and the other Usk tributaries are a Special Area of Conservation, listed for their lampreys, twaite shad, bullhead, Atlantic salmon and otter. The fishing is with the fly.
Native white-clawed crayfish live in the river, so anglers are asked to disinfect their waders, nets and tackle before and after fishing.
