Afon y Maes

Last updated

Afon y Maes is a tributary river to the Clwyd and flows through the village of Llanelidan, Denbighshire, Wales. [1] The river starts to the south of the village and joins up to the Clwyd on land behind Nantclwyd Hall, and therefore it is a relatively short river that starts and ends in the same town.
