RSPB Dinas, upper Twyi valley, Carmarthenshire
The River Tywi or Towy is one of the 2 longest rivers flowing entirely within Wales (the other is the River Teifi) with a total length of 75 miles.
The River Twyi rises within 10 miles of the River Teifi on the lower slopes of Crug Gynan in the Cambrian Mountains and flows through the steep, rugged hills of the Twyi Forest, forming the border between Ceredigion and Powys. It flows generally south-westwards through Carmarthenshire passing through the towns of Llandovery and Llandeilo before flowing in to Carmarthen Bay east of the Pendine Sands in an estuary which it shares with the River Taf and the River Gwendraeth.
The upper Tywi valley includes 2 of my favourite locations in Wales: RSPB Dinas a few miles north of Rhandirmwyn and the Royal Oak Inn in Rhandirmwyn itself for accommodation, food and real ale.
