Nant Brân
The Nant Brân is a short river which rises on the southern slopes of Mynydd Epynt in Powys, Wales. The word 'brân' means 'crow' in Welsh: the name may therefore allude to the dark colour of its waters.[1]
Its upper reaches are within the military training area of
twaite shad and the European bullhead.[3]
