River Teifi

Some 75 miles in length, the river Teifi runs through the heart of south-west Wales and is home to a huge number of species.

The river Teifi begins its journey at Llyn Teifi, its source 1500 feet up on the western flanks of the Cambrian Mountains. It flows west through a picturesque river valley that forms a natural boundary between the Ceredigion plateau to the north and the Carmarthenshire plateau to the south. On its journey west to Cardigan Bay the Teifi passes through spectacular white water gorges, waterfalls, lush water meadows and shallow riffles over gravel beds that provide a rich range of habitats for wildlife.
