DESCRIPTION 



or THE 



MOST CELEBRATED ANGLING STATIONS 



GLAMORGANSHIRE. 



THE principal rivers are the Taf, the Tawe or 

 Tawy, the Nedd or Neath, the Llychwyr or Lou- 

 ghor, the Ewenny, the Ogmore, and the Rhymni 

 or Romney. The banks of these, and of the 

 numerous smaller streams of the mountains, are 

 in most places distinguished for the picturesque 

 grandeur or rich beauty of their scenery. 



THE TAF. 



This romantic stream is formed by the junction, 

 on the northern border of the county, near Coedy- 

 cummer, of two streams, called respectively the 

 Taf Vawr and the Taf Vechan, " the greater and 

 lesser Taf," which descend from the highest moun- 

 tains of South Wales, the beacons of Brecknock- 

 shire. On reaching Quaker's Yard, about twelve 

 miles below Merthyr Tydvil, it is joined by a 

 mountain-stream, called Bargoed Taf; still lower.
