    Tips

    The Afon Tawe is a great little Welsh river, but a short one at only 30 miles. Its headwaters start just a short way from here, just below Llyn y Fan Fawr. After coming down past Tafarn-y-Garreg, the river will head south to come out in the Swansea estuary. It makes for a nice kayak paddle further down and gives life to the rest of the Swansea Valley as it meanders its way to the sea. Not the greatest or most famous of Welsh rivers, but a beautiful one nonetheless.
