River Rhaeadr

River Rhaeadr

The River Rhaeadr (Welsh: "Afon Rhaeadr") is a river in Wales.

It starts at the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall a few miles from the village of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, where the Afon Disgynfa falls over a 240-foot (75 m) cliff-face, after which the river is known as the Afon Rhaeadr.

Downstream, the Afon Rhaeadr runs into the Afon Tanat.
