The Afon Angell is a river in Gwynedd, Mid Wales.

The river flows eastwards from its source on the eastern flank of Mynydd Dolgoed, [1] joining the Afon Dyfi at the small village of Aberangell. The river was known for its salmon and trout fishing in the Victoria era. [2] A number of slate mines were once found along its length, linked to Aberangell by the Hendre-Ddu Tramway. [3]

The Afon Aber is a small river in Gwynedd that enters Liverpool Bay on the coast of North Wales at Abergwyngregyn, 53.242°N 4.027°W. It rises in the Carneddau mountains on the northern watersheds of Drum, Foel Fras and Garnedd Uchaf and the eastern watersheds of Drosgl and Moel Wnion. It is principally noted for the spectacular waterfall of one its principal tributaries, the Aber Falls, where it leaves the hills and descends in a single drop to the valley floor. The river, joined by the other main tributary, the Afon Anafon, then flows through a densely wooded valley which is now a nature reserve before entering the sea just north of Abergwyngregyn.
