		From the Rivers Rheidol and Ystwyth in Ceredigion, down through Pembrokeshire, around the Gower Peninsula and across to Bridgend's River Ogmore, the River Tawe is the heart of 'Sewin Country'. More sea trout are caught in West Wales than anywhere else in the UK; and for really big sewin - fish weighing over 12lb -these rivers are quite unrivalled. The holiday cottages are located in Cilybebyll near Pontardawe, some two miles from the River Tawe, which runs down the Swansea Valley from its source in the Brecon Beacons National Park to the sheltered waters of Swansea Bay. At our holiday cottages you can enjoy quality fishing, traditional Welsh hospitality and friendship, and all among the most beautiful countryside.

			Those who prefer the smaller more intimate rivers may prefer to fish in one of the Tawe's tributaries, the Twrch, Gwys, Llynfell, Giedd, Lech, Gurlais and Cwm Du for salmon, sea trout, brown trout and eels (trout are stocked regularly up to 3lbs). The upper reaches of the River Tawe are outstandingly beautiful.
