THE MAW. WONION. DOVEY. DWYRHYD. 161 



the picturesque vales of Glyndyvrdwy and Llan- 

 gollen into the southern part of Denbighshire. 



THE MAW 



Rises in the mountains of the north-east part of 

 the county, and flows first southward, and then 

 south-westward, by the village of Llanvachrek, to- 

 wards Llanelltyd, where it is joined by the Wonion. 



THE WONION, 



Equal in size to the Maw, rises near the source 

 of the Dee, at a place called Drws y Nant, and, 

 winding through a narrow valley in a less turbulent 

 stream than is usual with rivers having a moun- 

 tainous origin, passes the town of Dolgelly. A 

 beautiful trout stream . 



THE DOVEY 



Rises at the foot of Aran Mowddwy, and flows 

 southward through the rich vale to which it gives 

 its name ; and passing by the small town of Dinas 

 Mowddwy, enters the western part of Mongomery- 

 shire, where it becomes the southern boundary of 

 Merionethshire. 



THE DWYRHYD 



Rises in the mountains on the northern side of 

 the county, and gradually losing its character of a 

 mountain torrent as it emerges into a more level 

 district, flows in beautiful meanders through the 

 celebrated Vale of Festiniog.
