  River Clwyd - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The River Clwyd is a river in north Wales.
Two miles north of St Asaph, the river is joined by a tributary as large as the main river, the River Elwy.
At the confluence of the Elwy and the Clwyd, the river becomes tidal and enters a rather unattractive narrow estuary before meeting the Irish Sea at Rhyl.

The Clwyd and Elwy are much-celebrated Sea Trout and Salmon rivers.
The River Clwyd's source is in the high ground to the north of Corwen and it runs down stream through Ruthin, passing the market town of Denbigh and the cathedral city of St Asaph.
These rivers and their tributaries are best fished for Sea Trout from June onwards as they tend to start running in earnest this month.
