About the River Western Cleddau
The Western Cleddau, Cleddau Wen in Welsh, is a river in Pembrokeshire, west Wales, of about 25 miles. It has two branches. The eastern branch rises at Llygad Cleddau, a few miles south east of Fishguard, and flows south west past Scleddau. The western branch rises at Penysgwarne, in the parish of Llanreithan, and flows east. They meet at Priskilly.
The joined river runs through Wolf’s Castle and enters the deep Treffgarne gorge, cut through the hard volcanic rock of Treffgarne Mountain. It then flows south to Haverfordwest, where it becomes tidal at the lowest bridge. The tidal river widens into a deep estuary and meets the Eastern Cleddau at Picton Point, where the two form the Daugleddau.
Sewin, wild brown trout and salmon are fished for on the Western Cleddau.
