Vawr ; near its source it forms a fine cascade, 

 precipitating itself over a ledge of limestone rocks

 VACH 



Have their source in a lake on the Great Moun- 

 tain, and fall into the Bay of Carmarthen. These 

 rivers also abound with salmon, sewin, trout, eels, fyc. 



The principal Fishing Stations are, 



PONT AR DULAS, or the bridge upon the Dulas, 

 about ten miles from Swansea. This river pro- 

 duces the sewin in great perfection during the sum-

 sea. To the north of Pont ar Dulas are six or 

 seven good trout streams : there is also abundance

ABERNANT, five miles from Carmarthen, on the 

 banks of the Cowyn. 



LLAN, five miles and a half from Carmarthen, on 

 the Gwendraeth Vach river. 



LLANARTHNEY, seven miles and a half from Car- 

 marthen, on the Towy. This village is surrounded 

 by a profusion of the richest and most picturesque 

 scenery. Situated on the south bank of the Towy,
