Lliedi

Lliedi is a river in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It flows for approximately 12 miles through the Gwendraeth Valley, originating in the hills north of Cross Hands and emptying into the River Tâf estuary near Kidwelly. The river is relatively small and is characterized by its meandering course through agricultural land.

Historically, the Lliedi played a role in the local landscape and economy. Its waters would have been used for farming and potentially for small-scale industrial activities in the past. The valley it traverses has been inhabited for centuries, with evidence of early settlements in the vicinity. Today, the Lliedi continues to be a significant feature of the Carmarthenshire countryside, contributing to the local ecosystem and providing a water source for the surrounding area. The river is not navigable by significant vessels due to its size and shallowness. Its flow can be affected by rainfall, and like many rivers, it can experience higher water levels during wet periods. The Lliedi is a natural landmark that defines the character of the Gwendraeth Valley.
