River Aled
The River Aled near Rhyd-yr-arian.
The small river near Conwy County Borough is the River Aled, which flows into River Elwy.[1]
The river originates at Llyn Aled on Mynydd Hiraethog to the right of the village Llansannan. It flows through Llyn Aled Isaf and then towards the north through Llansannan and Bryn Rhyd-yr-arian before meeting River Elwy to the east of village Llanfair Talhaearn.
The River Aled is controlled, and thus so is the River Elwy, by reservoirs and Llyn Aled.
In the Middle Ages the river marked the boundary between Commotes and Upper and Lower Aled.
