The River Glaslyn

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Glaslyn

The River Glaslyn, in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, only sixteen miles in length, has its source in Glaslyn, a cwm lake on the flanks of Snowdon. It is joined by Nant Traswnant which drains Pen y Pass and by Nant Cynnyd before entering Llyn Gwynant. The river then flows through Llyn Dinas before entering the village of Beddgelert. In the middle of the village it is joined by the substantial tributary, the Afon Colwyn which drains the south western flank of Snowdon. The enlarged river flows down past Gelert's grave before tumbling down into the Pass of Aberglaslyn. The river emerges from the gorge into the relatively flat agricultural land of Tremadog and Porthmadog. Once the river has crossed under the railway line, it meanders in large pools and marshes before eventually passing through the tidal sluices on the Cob at the south-eastern end of the town of Porthmadog, and from there into Tremadog Bay.
