The River Neath (Afon Nedd)
The River Neath rises between Fan Fraith and Fan Nedd in the Brecon Beacons. In the picturesque waterfall area above Pont-nedd-fechan the river flows south where it is joined by the tributaries of the Pyrddin, Hepste, Mellte and Sychryd. The river continues southwest passing Glynneath and Resolven before reaching the confluence with the River Dulais at Aberdulais. The river is regularly stocked with brown trout and has a growing reputation for the annual runs of sea-trout and salmon which enter the river system.
The River Dulais (Afon Dulais)
The River Dulais rises below the slopes of Mynydd y Drum and flows south-west passing the settlements of Seven Sisters and Crynant before cascading over the Aberdulais Falls below which it joins the River Neath close to the tidal reaches of the River near Tonna. The river is essentially a brown trout fishery as the Aberdulais Falls forms a natural barrier to migratory species moving into the headwaters. Although the National Trust, in conjunction with a power-generating company, have installed a fish-pass at the falls to assist the passage of migratory fish there is no long-term record at present, to show what effect the pass has had on migratory fish stocks.
