River Towy, Protected river in West Wales.
The River Towy spans 121 kilometers from the Cambrian Mountains to Carmarthen Bay, passing through multiple counties in Wales with a discharge rate of 45 cubic meters per second.
The waterway shaped local settlement patterns and served as a primary transportation route through Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire during medieval trade development in Wales.
The river system supports traditional Welsh fishing practices, with local communities maintaining seasonal salmon fishing traditions passed down through generations.
Access points along the river banks provide opportunities for walking, fishing, and kayaking, with designated parking areas available near Carmarthen and Llandeilo.
The river maintains a significant population of sea lamprey, which migrate upstream during spring months to spawn in the gravel beds.
