List of rivers of Wales

This is a list of rivers of Wales, organised

.

Cefn Coed-y-cymmer

.

The list includes more or less every watercourse named on Ordnance Survey mapping and thus many of the main rivers of Wales (as defined by Natural Resources Wales ). Difficulties arise otherwise in determining what should and what should not be included.^[1]

Certain names are encountered frequently and particular care should be taken to differentiate between the various occurrences of Clydach, Clywedog and of Dulas for example as well as those whose names refer perhaps to the colour of their waters e.g. Afon Goch (red river), Afon Ddu (black/dark river) and Afon Wen (white/light river).

Longest rivers in Wales

This is a table of the longest rivers wholly or partially in Wales.^[2] Rivers only partly in Wales are included in this table in italics. Note that river lengths given by different authorities vary due to the different ways in which the measurement is made or indeed estimated. That rivers are partly fractal in nature accounts for some variation and lengths can also vary slightly over time as meanders expand or are cut off where rivers run through broad flood-plains.

	River	Length		Notes
		(miles)	(km)
1	River Severn	220	354	Leaves Wales after 48 miles.
2	River Wye	135	217	Forms the Wales-England border for much of its length.
3	River Teme	81	130	Entirely in England after 12 miles.
4	River Usk	78	126[3]	Longest river entirely in Wales according to some sources.[4]
5	River Tywi	75	121
6	River Teifi	73	117	[5]
