106 WESTERN AND EASTERN CLEDDY. 



constitute one of its principal attractions ; perhaps 

 no spot in the kingdom is so well furnished with 

 water, a small portion only excepted, viz. the 

 western extremity of Castlemartin. The principal 

 rivers will be hereafter enumerated ; but, in all di- 

 rections, many pretty rills cross the county at the 

 distance of every half 'mile, and though they are 

 lost in the sea, or unite their waters with those of 

 the larger streams within a mile or two of their 

 source, yet they abound with trout ; and,, though 

 narrow and shallow, are penetrated up their sources 

 by vast quantities of salmon and sewin during the 

 spawning season. 



The rivers are the Western Cleddy, the Eastern 

 Cleddy, the Gwaun, or the Gwain, the Nevern, and 

 the Teivy, the Syvynvy, the Newgall, the Duad, the 

 Guadan, the Cych, the Alan, the Cyllall, and the 

 Hig. 



THE WESTERN CLEDDY, 



Called Cleddy Gwyn, or the " Fair," rises at 

 Llygad Cleddy, or the " Eye of Cleddy," near 

 Fishguard, and flows into the sea below Haver- 

 fordwest. 



THE EASTERN CLEDDY, 



Called Cleddy Du, the " Black or Swarthy," rises 

 among the .Precelly Mountains, at a place called 

 Blaen y Gors, in the parish of Mynachlog ddhu, and, 

 after receiving the Syvynvy and numerous smaller 

 streams, joins the Western Cleddy between Picton 

 and Mynwere.
