River Seiont

River Seiont

River Seiont ("Afon Seiont" in Welsh) is a river in Wales which runs into the Irish Sea.

Its source is the outflow of Llyn Padarn near Llanberis, and it flows out in a generally northwest direction. Between the outflow and the village of Llanrug it is known as the Afon Rhythallt, changing its name just after the village. Its mouth is in the town of Caernarfon, forming a natual harbour as it flows out into the Menai Straits.
