Neath

The Neath rises in the Brecon Beacons near Fan Gihirych (2,381 feet) and flows south to Glyn Neath from where it continues south-east through the Vale of Neath to enter the Bristol Channel near Swansea. Clearing after pollution, the river has been re-stocked with trout and is now attracting sea trout again.

The salmon which used to run up the river are still awaited. Access for the visitor is reasonable. Rod Licence: WNWDA (Glamorgan Rivers Division)
