The River Artro (Welsh: Afon Artro) is a river in Gwynedd, Wales.
It is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and has its source at
Pensarn Wharf
.
The Artro enters the sea at a sizeable tidal
Mochras/Shell Island.[1] The current estuary was formed following a diversion of the Artro by the Earl of Winchilsea in 1819 to improve access to the wharf at Pensarn which was the shipment point for slate from Llanfair and Llanbedr
. Prior to this the Artro entered the sea to the south of Mochras.
