River Lliedi

River Lliedi

The River Lliedi ( _cy. Afon Lliedi) has its source in the hills near Llanelli and Llannon in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The river fills the Swiss Valley reservoir and meets the sea at the Bury estuary at the former Carmarthenshire Dock, Llanelli.

The river's flow near the Llanelli coastline has been altered several times over the last 200 years to build docks to serve the large tinplate and coal industries of the town.
